Cat Flaps
 
Can anyone recommend a glazing/door company in the Northern Suburbs of Perth who will put a cat flap into a glass sliding door for me ?

Cheers in advance

Just a thought...

When we put our cat flap in, we found it easier to find someone who could put it in the screen door rather than the glass door itself. We checked with our insurers and so long as the screen door locked, we were covered to leave the glass door ajar to enable the cat flap to open and close.

Now all we have to worry about is the animals bringing in their catches. Dog caught another snake last week. :unsure:

You will find that fly screen fitters/repairers often fit cat flaps too.

...just got me thinking. How would cats refer to their labia?

You won't. The glass is toughened so as soon as you try and cut it will fail - like the old car windscreens.
The only option I've seen is, as others have suggested, get a security screen made (if you haven;t got one) with one built in.
Also I've not seen any here which are lockable - does your council have kerfews for cats like otehrs do?

You can get them but you have to remake the whole glass with a hole in it.

We've got a catflap with a four-way lock: (1) cat totally locked in; (2) cat totally free to go and come; (3) cat can go out but not come back in; (4) cat can come in but can't got back out.

We bought it from the pet store in Edgewater opposite Bunnings.
