Microchip Cat Flap - your experiences please

[PringlesQueen]

We are considering buying one of these.
If you own one, please could you tell me which brand you have and would you recommend it?
I am concerned that the microchip will not open cat flap if one of my cats tries to bolt through the cat flap at the speed of light!
Many thanks

Zac -----apologies for interrupting squsal'sthread , but one of the funniest answers for a good while.

I like Zac's answer :-)

The cat flaps work - I have a friend who has one. She thinks that it is great.

Is there any way - or has anyone already thought of this - that the cat flap could be activated by the cat's individual tracking microchip which is under its skin? I used to have magnetic catflaps but the cats kept losing their collars and the magnets were chunky, and when Rover nearly hung himself on his collar, I got rid of them. However all three cats are ID-chipped. I guess it wouldn't work with multiple cats - the decoder would have to recognise several chips - but it's a thought!

Sorry boxtops, the invention has already happened - thats what I am asking the question about! Microchip activated cat flap,not magnetic activated cat flaps.
Pleas keep you answers coming.

sorry squ, I misunderstood, I thought you were things of a chipped collar which is something else altogether. My problem is having three cats, and I believe the catflap can only be set for one animal's chip?
