How to Train Your Cat to Use a Cat Flap
Your Cat
Squeezing through tight gaps may come natural to some cats but please beware that patience is needed to get your moggie to adapt to the new Pet Door or Cat Flap as well as its new surroundings
Treats
Try luring them through by offering them on of their favorite treats this in our experience is the quickest route to success.
Personality
All cats have different personalities and will learn to use the new cat flap at their own pace some will get it quickly, others will need a little more time and some encouragement but thats OK.
Toys
Most cats love to play with string and toys, get them exited and throw it through the doorway; likelihood is they will chase after it.
Peg
We suggest you prop open the doorway with tape or use clothes pegs, this will make it easy for the cat to pass through. Call them from the other side of the cat flap this will encourage them to pass through.
Meal Time
At meal time make them aware it is ready, pass it under their nose then place it the other side of the cat flap doorway. Now they must pass through the hole to eat it!
