Training
To train your cat to use the PetSafe
®
Microchip Cat Flap, set the cat flap to Manual Mode (see
Basic Operation Guide for mode settings). Lift or tape the flap open to the interior of the door to
help your cat become familiar with the cat flap. Try to encourage your cat to come through the cat
flap. DO NOT FORCE your cat through the flap or they may become frightened. A good motivator
is usually food. First feed your cat close to the cat flap on the inside. Once your cat is comfortable
approaching the flap, move food to the outside to try to get your cat to go through. After your cat
has used the cat flap a few times, lower the flap and hold it open with your hand. Encourage your
cat to go through the flap while gently lowering the flap so it touches your cat’s back. This will help
your cat become familiar with the flap.
Once your cat is comfortable entering and exiting through the closed flap in Manual Mode,
change the cat flap to Automatic Mode to operate with their microchip ID. Walk your cat to the cat
flap until it reads the microchip ID and unlatches. Encourage your cat to push through the flap to the
other side. Repeat a few times.
Note: It is recommend to use the “In or Out” position on the 4-Way Manual lock until your cat is
completely comfortable using the cat flap.
