SureFlap Microchip Cat Door As A Kitty Weight Loss Tool?

As January draws to a close there are some of us  who are faced with the reality that our resolution or intention (whichever terminology you prefer) to lose weight is beginning to fall by the wayside. Often we need the "help" of a "friend" to  keep us from mindless eating.

Did you know that the SureFlap can also be used to keep a kitty like this:

"Rosie" used with permission by
"Rosie Larger Than Life"

from having an "all-you-can-eat" banquet as a result of pilfering food from the bowls of every other pet in your home!  You can feed the offender in another room (SureFlap also works on INTERNAL doors, NOT just EXTERNAL!) and because a larger animal cannot fit through the opening of  SureFlap,  the kitty food-napper could just possibly shed some unwanted pounds just from being denied free-feeding from everyone's bowls!

Here is some more info about SureFlap:


SureFlap:

Allows only cats whose microchips are stored within the product to enter a home.

It is powered by 4 AA batteries and only powers up when a cat tries to enter/leave a home.

Once a cat's microchip number is stored it will stay in the memory whether the batteries are in place or not.

SureFlap is available in white or brown.

SureFlap works with a cat's existing FDXA, FDXB or Avid Secure/Encrypted microchip (these encompass the vast majority of microchip types).

SureFlap will work even if a cat wears a collar with a metallic bell or tag.

SureFlap stores the unique identities of up to 32 cats.

SureFlap is compact and suitable for most cat breeds with its 5.59" wide by 5.39" tall entry door.  (Some large breeds of cat, such as the Maine Coon, may have difficulty using it. They are currently working to develop a larger version of SureFlap, which is appropriate for small dogs and larger cats and it should be available during the first half of 2012.

SureFlap is easy to install in doors, (INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL),  windows and walls and glass mounting .

In full disclosure we were not compensated for this blog post. We were offered a SureFlap when we first blogged about it a few months ago,  but with our living situation there was no need for us to have one. We opted on our own to feature SureFlap because we liked its features and benefits and feel that it is a useful product. All opinions are strictly our own.
