    What about fitting it the wrong way wrong IYKWIM? So that you have it activated for letting the ones programmed out, and then lets all cats in? I am sure it wouldn't be difficult to fit if 'the wrong way round'?

    Can't you put it in back to front?

    But if you do that, you run the risk of other neighbourhood cats begin let in, and not being able to get out again? Not sure if it is a problem where the OP lives, but I wouldn't want that situation in my house :eek:

    You need to plug it in to a socket so there is electrical cable coming out of the back.

    Hi all
    Just to update ( and for any future posters)

    I contacted them and they suggested the same however said one is currently being designed to allow only certain cats out but they can't confirm the release date.

    I hope it's soon!
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help :)
