Training
1. Cats are smart when it comes to finding food so this is a great motive to get your cat to
start using the cat flap. Start by using some tape to hold the flap completely open.
2. First feed your cat next to the cat flap, then try putting some food or tasty treats on the
other side of the flap. Let your cat watch you place the treats on the other side of the flap.
3. When your cat starts to consistently peek through without hesitation, you can go to the
next step, which is to throw the treats a little further. In no time, your cat should be going
all the way through the open flap to retrieve its rewards.
4. Now remove the tape holding the flap open. To get your cat used to pushing the door
open, hold the door part way open and repeat the food and treats progression. Gradually,
over many trials, make the opening smaller and smaller so that your cat has to push more
and more to get through.
5. If your cat is hungry enough training should go quickly. Once they figure it’s safe to push
the flap they will be going in and out at will. During the training sessions make sure the
door never smacks your cat in the rear, a startle could slow the progress you have both
worked to achieve.
