Looking at cat flaps for the new house, just wondering whats a tunnel?
some say with tunnel and without, am I being a little dim or what? :-[

a tunnel gets you through thick walls or doors - they can be 2 inches long, or a foot long. Many click together to be as long as you want. The tunnel is open at one end and has the flap at the other end - it is just a way of neatening the sides of the hole you make to install the flap. In a normal door, like mine, you only need a 2" tunnel ...
Make sure the flap is in a room you can seal off. My lot have worked out how to break out so have to leave the kitchen isolated after they are shut in at night cos otherwise the flap ends up in small pieces on the kitchen floor.

ahhh, makes sense
hehe thanks
its going in the kitchen door which has anouther we can close through to the kitchen, as we are moving to an estate we cant have a dog flap like we do now lol

I like the look of the microchip flaps but they are quite pricey!

We got ours from Argos, the cheapest standard one - and we put it on our kitchen door. It is really good and not drafty at all! I think it was £5.98.

Tunnels through a wall can have a flap at each end, thats how my brothers is
