If you want a small cat flap there are a number of brand names and designs you can choose from. It is often hard to decide on a good one if you are unsure which is most ideally suited to your small cats requirements. Selecting the best flaps can be difficult and frustrating if you don’t know where to start.

The advantages of a small cat flap:

*Benefit 1:

The smaller cat flap is perfect when you have a smaller pussy-cat and need to train it to make use of the new flap. This is good practice and gets them used to the sensation of the flap on their back, plus the flap wont end up being too heavy either.

*Benefit 2:

They're harder to get through for larger animals and/or household intruders. It is a depressing fact that thieves can get through some door flaps if they can get their head and shoulders through it, which is often scary. The smaller the flap the more unlikely that this is to happen. Even a crook that you will find reaching up to take hold of the door key might be thwarted using a very small cat flap.

*Benefit 3:

They help to keep the house hotter during cold periods as the size of the hole is actually more compact and so a reduced amount of air can get out through typical use.

*Benefit 4:

They help to keep up the structural strength of the door. Generally if a large opening has been cut into a solid wood door then the door will become less strong due to this fact. The smaller the hole cut into the door, then more of it's strength stays helping to keep the home safe.

*Benefit 5:

Much less obtrusive. Small cat flaps aren't on display quite as much as a bigger cat flap therefore do not distract from the physical appearance of your house.
