Miggy, yes getting rid of the scent of the previous cat who used the flap will certainly make them feel more confident in using it and claiming it as their own. But try the flipping it a with your hand aproach too, that has always worked with my cats over the years. Once you see your cats sitting by it and looking through it you know that the interest is there and they should follow through once they feel it is safe for them to go out. From my experience it's not something that you can really force them to do, I just leave them to do it in their own sweet time. |

I used treats to get my cats to use it. I stood on the outside with the flap open and gave them treats. The same on the way in. As they were greedy sods, they picked it up in no time! Now Oliver was different. He was desperate to get out since he was wee. He just went through at 100 miles an hour, no treats required! lol |
