Does your cat go outside? Do you like to go from room to room? If so, I recommend that you put one cat flap: I am very practical, especially if you are one of those who have the doors of the home closed, and you do not want to have to get up to open them every time your furry friend wants to enter or leave.
In fact, it was created for that purpose, so that the animals could enter the place whenever they wanted.
What are cat flaps?
A cat flap is a hinged hatch that attaches to the inside of the door. Also, they are made in such a way that when opened, neither the wind nor the rain enters. There are many different models: some very simple with tilting hatches, and others even with infrared locks, which open only when a device mounted on the cat's neck transmits the correct code to the cat flap.
Who Invented the Cat Flap?
Despite the intervening years, and despite the fact that it is still not entirely clear, the invention of the cat flap is often attributed to the scientist Isaac Newton, since, according to Cyril Aydon in his book "Curious Histories of Science", this man made a hole in the bottom of the door so that his cat would not disturb him every time he wanted to enter or leave.
In the end, his cat came out and one day she came back pregnant, so Newton made some smaller holes for his young. However, a columnist ridiculed the scientist for having made these last holes, as the kittens would follow the mother.
In any case, nowadays cat flaps are indispensable in many homes, especially if there are many cats, or if they have permission to go outside.
And you, do you have a cat flap?
