Review: Excellent cat flap - Came with everything you need for an easy installation, including various lengths of screws to support different door thickness. The functionality is superb, particularly the indicator to show whether the cat is in or out, and for how long. We use that a lot. The locking mechanism is quick, accurate and quiet, and our cat is not distracted by the whirring of the motor mechanism. Review: Terrible defective product littered with design flaws. - Quite possibly the worse product I have ever ever purchased. Totally unfit for purpose and just does not work. Sensors physically don't work. Programmes up fine so it must read. Cat tries to enter......just will not open. I am an engineer so I understand these devices. It is littered with technical issues and design faults. The support helpline has a guy who is totally defensive and condescending who tried to tell me that the metal in my upvc plastic door was interfering with signal. No......a there is no metal I checked........b. ..the unit programme fine.... he then tells me I need to calibrate it by removing batteries and placing them back in. ...I used to be a battery design engineer this makes no difference and didn't. . This has no relation to the faults of the unit. The unit opens and closes randomly........he said that's normal...it's to reset a stuck door if it detects it's open still. Yes it is open because I pegged it open as instructed. Training mode should disable this open and closing feature as it tells you peg it open. Totally poor I'll though out design. Does not support selective exit so kitten can escape when you want to keep 1 in and let adult out. The noise of the mechanism is so loud it frightens the cat. He refused to use it and stayed outside looking at it for 10 hours in rain. This is literally the worst product imaginable. Read this review and do not even think about buying it. I am not one of those idiots who can't use the product properly. I design complex machinery for a living. Do not waste your money. I had to tape the manual coller chip to the unit in the end. (Aweful). I then thought to myself. What the he'll am I doing send this junk back. They told me I was 2 days late for registering warranty so can't. I said well your having it back anyway. desertcart took my return. Thank you desertcart for having an awesome returns policy that looks after customers. That is why I shop mostly at desertcart because they care about their customers unlike these cowboys. This product can only be described as a part functioning faulty prototype with aweful user interface with defective design flaws. In my opinion I would wait until sure flap release a timed selective exit unit. Dual scan. ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - MICROCHIP ACTIVATED ENTRY WITH TIMER CONTROL: Reads your cat's microchip or Cat Mate ID Disc, allows access for up to 9 cats, and is compatible with 15-digit ISO microchips.

Have several cats that have tried to get in to no avail and our own cat has never managed to vet out either all though she had managed to with our old staywell magnetic which we manually locked at night. This was expensive but worth every penny **Q: What size is the actual door opening?** A: 14 cm wide and 17 cm high. One of my cats is rather large (fat) and gets through no problem. The electronic whirring when the flap is activated did spook the cats a little for a couple of days. However the option of sitting out in the rain or putting up with a slight whirring noise soon becomes a no brainer. Now they use it without a second thought. **Q: Hi where can i check if my cats Avid microchip is compatable?** A: The Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap with Timer is compatible with 9 (Avid), 10 (Avid) and 15 (ISO) digit microchips. **Q: catmate elite microchip cat flap training mode: if the catflap is set to training mode, does the timer function to allow for locking it on in only?** A: Sorry, I have just double checked with Petmate customer services and the answer is no :( ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent cat flap *by J***N on 29 June 2026* Came with everything you need for an easy installation, including various lengths of screws to support different door thickness.

Works exactly as I had hoped. *by J***E on 18 June 2016* This is simply fantastic. I moved into my grandma's old house and needed a way for my little cat to get in and out. She has never used a flap before, previous landlady refused to allow a flap to be installed. Installation was pretty simple, 10 mins with a drill and a jigsaw. Programming was fairly simple too, activated the chip scanner, grabbed the cat and posted her from the outside back into the house and it was all done. Set the timer, which works perfectly. It did take her a few days to get used to it because every time she touched it the noise of the solenoid motor made her jump and run away! With some persistence I showed her that it was safe and she now uses it without any issues at all. I was worried about how quickly the reader would work from the outside and make her think it had locked her out, however I was pleased to see that when she was running back in to escape another cat it opened instantly and shut her new friend outside for them to howl at each other through the cat flap. I also find the indicator very handy, when I get home from work I can very quickly see if she's in or out. In summary, excellent. I'm sure that there will be people who don't have a similar experience. My cat is a bit of a wuss so she doesn't really try very hard to defeat the locking mechanism when it won't let her out, she just accepts that it's locked and walks away. If you've got a cat who can open doors etc then they might be able to unlock the flap. It bolts with the solenoid on 2 plastic pins in the center bottom of the flap. Really the 2 plastic pins should be further apart, as it allows the bottom corners to be pulled. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cat Mate Elite Microchip Cat Flap W/ Timer Control - Cat Mate Elite 2" Wall Liner for Cat Mate Elite Doors - White - Cat Mate Collar Worn Pet ID Disc for use with all Cat Mate, Dog Mate, and Closer Pets Products --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49052758-cat-mate-elite-microchip-cat-flap-with-timer-for-small](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49052758-cat-mate-elite-microchip-cat-flap-with-timer-for-small) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
