Review on 🐈 Enhance Your Cat's Flap with Cat Mate Wall Liners (234 & 235) for Ultimate Convenience by Jennifer Ford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stronger than I expected. Work well.

With 7 cats in the house I got tired of opening and closing doors. So I was looking for an inexpensive solution to my problem. After reading a number of reviews on different products, I settled on the Cat Mate Cat Mate 4-Way Locking Cat Flap with White Door Panel mainly because of that panel which seemed to be more durable than most. We installed an external valve and 3 internal valves. My husband seemed to have no problem installing them - the holes on either side of the walls matched! We needed 2 extra liners for each cat hatch (3 total including the ones we bought with the cat hatch. We have standard walls) and we super glued them together. I also sealed the joint with a quality sealant. At first I wasn't sure if they would hold up to all the abuse they would receive, but they turned out to be stronger than I thought. I just wish they would produce a double width liner instead of joining 2 together. This is the reason for my 4 star rating and not 5 stars. We have kept them in place for 9 months already - and they are used frequently by (as you can imagine) 5 out of 7 cats. The other two will use them if I open the valve for them. Several young cats literally fly through the flaps in full skin and they came through absolutely fine. They also play with the cat flap - the cat on one side leans forward and smacks the other. I found my next problem was being kept up at night because they kept opening and closing the flap - thank goodness for the lock! I have absolutely nothing to complain about either the cat flaps or the liner. The magnetic strip keeping the cat door closed was effective and we don't have any drafts coming in from outside. I would buy them again and recommend them to everyone.
