I love the cat door.  (Stopped Toms coming in and eating our food.)

 

It comes with two collar modules, so you will be fine if you ordered the one I pointed out.

 

It's a pain when one of your cats loses the collar as it is difficult to find replacements.  (Note:  It is just a magnet as the door uses a REED switch).  Battery in the door lasts about 6 months with two cats.

Hello, well the cat problem has escalated. I opened the door this morning
and there was a unfamiliar tom on the stairs who had our cat backed up by
the window so he couldn't get to his accustomed cat bed. I caused some
consternation on the part of the 2 cats, finally after some growling the
tom bailed out the window which I promptly closed. This is the second time
that I have seen the tom on the stairs and some things on the landing got
broken.
   One of the guys on Neonixie-l pointed out some cat doors that work with
a collar. Due to the situation with our cat and me having to spray
Fabreze on the landing for the smell. I went and ordered a cat door
that was pointed out to me on E-bay, it works with a special collar. So
till that comes we will have to work out something with the cat on
going in and out.  Skink the cat is going to the vets for a neutering
on the 9th of January, I will get him chipped at the same time and then
I may look to upgrade the door. Chip operated doors run well over $100
though.
  So I want to thank everybody for the ideas and the links to the door.  I
havn't had a cat that we let inside for well over 10 years so I havn't
kept up on any of the doors etc for cats.  All your ideas were a help
and I appreciate them very much.
  Happy holidays to everybody!

That means every cat with a magnet collar has an entrance permit !

The door that acts on an implanted chip is safest and why not is that chip has to be implanted anyhow...?

May be it is wise you tell your Vet the chip will be needed for the cat door also; he can implant the chip at the best place.

That is correct.

Every cat with a rare earth magnet hanging low on their collar will have access.

 

Is the high security and cost of an implanted RFID chip really required for something like the access of a cat?  Just a thought.

As I understood well, Tim would let implat a chip and neuter the cat anyhow. I am not aware of the supplement price of a chip recognizing cat door, but I think it woun't be really much and the damage of 'Tommy' would make may be greater.

Don't worry about it. Strays don't have magnet collars! Thing to worry about is if your cat will tolerate a collar. My two kitties go into fits if I put a collar on them. They lay in a ball claws dug into the collar and growl. Hours on end until I take it off! So much for that!

I had the same problem.

However, I got tired of replacing screen doors, so I just made them wear a collar.  It's been about 10 years now (3 lost collars, and about 20 batteries).

 

There is the nice RFID unit on ebay for $200 (but a google search will get it for you at about $120).  Either way you go, it's a great buy.

PS. Note:  I got tired of the one can bringing in birds, mice, and goffers.  Put a bell on his collar.  The magnet took a liking to it which silenced it.  Just have to figure out the right spot for the bell.

Brass bell?
