You choose a lock time and an unlock time. At the lock time the flap stops letting your cat out but still lets them in — so a cat who's outside can always get home. In the morning it unlocks automatically.

Many owners keep cats in overnight to reduce road accidents, fights with other cats and wildlife hunting at dusk and dawn. A curfew flap makes this automatic, so you don't have to call your cat in or remember to lock up.

Feed the evening meal just before the lock time — most cats come home for food. Keep it consistent for a week and your cat will learn the routine. With the Connect app you'll get a notification when your cat comes in.
