Cat Flap Co.

    Wooden Door Cat Flap Fitting

    Cat flap and pet door installation in solid timber, engineered and traditional panelled wooden doors — cut clean, sealed properly and finished neatly on both faces.

    Timber Doors Done Properly

    Wood is forgiving to cut and unforgiving if it's left unsealed. We position the aperture away from the door's structural stiles and hinge side, cut with a clean-entry blade so there's no splintering on either face, then seal every exposed edge before the flap frame goes in. The result looks like it was always meant to be there.

    • All cut edges sealed against moisture
    • Splinter-free finish inside and out

    Which Direction Should a Cat Flap Face? UK Orientation Guide

    The wall or door you fit a cat flap into changes how often your cat uses it, how much draught you get, and how long the seal lasts. Here's how to pick the right elevation for a UK home.

    Cat Flap Draughts — 9 Fixes That Actually Stop the Cold Air

    A properly fitted cat flap shouldn't be draughty. If yours is, it's almost always one of nine things — a weak magnet, a compressed brush seal, an unsealed frame, or a flap fitted into a panel that's flexing. Here's how to diagnose and fix each.

    Indoor Cat Enrichment: Stopping Boredom Without a Cat Flap

    Indoor cats need three things replaced: hunting, height and territory. Two 10-minute wand-toy sessions a day, a puzzle feeder instead of a bowl, and vertical space by a window will resolve most indoor behaviour problems — over-grooming, night zoomies, door-dashing and food guarding. Enrichment is a routine, not a shopping list, but a handful of items do most of the work.
