il_serpente Posted February 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2021 On 17/02/2021 at 06:49, Rob182 said: We have one! I’ve noticed lately that the wind is occasionally holding it open past the little latch that keeps it shut. I’ve tried cleaning the hinges but I think the position of the cat flap (and the wind lately) is not helping. We had one, but it only required the little collar magnet to go in. It was either free to open the other direction or you had to lock it down completely. Raccoons figured out how to reach their claws into the tiny gap between the flap and frame and pull it outwards and then proceeded to come into our garage and eat the cats' food and generally make a mess. We'd have to remember to go lock it in the evenings. A few time I walked in on raccoons, who then scurried out, knocking over things in their haste.

Heart failure be damned, you can't keep this big mad bastard down. I love this stupid bastard. If he can't see you, you can't see him. Stands to reason.

Popular Post GarethRDR Posted August 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2021 Joined the cat club this year. I never wanted any pet after a particularly traumatic experience owning the hamster from hell in my youth, but a deal was struck when we bought the house ~9 years ago that I can have a spare bedroom to turn into a studio/man-cave if the missus gets a cat. We've had this chap for a few months now, and I bloody love him to bits. I've gone full-cat-retard, the SD card in my phone is 80% photos of him. We've named him Jonesy, primarily so I can buy a wig and a flight-suit and recreate this: 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
