Cat #2 has worked out the Cat Flap

The younger, friendlier, confident cat (Thomas, the ginger and white one in a couple of the photos) worked out how to use the PetWalk cat flap on his first day in the house (albeit with a bit of encouragement and demonstration from me).

The older, deaf, timid one (Bob, plain black and camera shy) was blissfully unaware of of the presence of a portal to the outside world and has been using a litter tray in the Utility Room (where the cat flap is). When I’ve tried opening the cat flap for him, using the remote control, he’s run away.

I don’t know whether he saw the other cat using it or worked it out for himself, but yesterday I spotted him walk up to it, wait for it to open and hop outside as if he’d been doing it all his life.

The ground floor insulation and polished concrete slab still needs to be installed (due next week) so the finished floor level will be just below the door threshold.

There’s another matching sliding door to the left of this one, and a smaller one to the right.

There’s a cream-coloured cover panel to go over the inside of the cat-flap (and a dark grey one for the outside).
