It is Drakes thread not Micks, appologies We're having a problem with neighbours cats coming in through our cat flap, scoffing our moggies food then scrapping at 2am in the morning. Mrs FW picked up one of those micro chip type cat flaps to day. on the back page of the instructions. The disclaimer .......
