Yes its plugged in Helen

It doesnt scan him in normal mode so iv been instructed how to alter it into test mode and such, long and short of it is it still doesnt let him in so im awaiting the next stage of instructions.
I thought at first the porch was broken but it does read when it wants to

It died?

Does it run off the power or batteries?

If its power have you checked the plug/s and lead into the flap?

Grrrr cant believe its dead after it looks so good

Oh No! Is it plugged in MM?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #22 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:43:24 AM »

Update: checked it before bed and drumroll please...... its died

Its not scanning anyone, lola was hopeful to gain entry but it wouldnt register her

Have contacted Pet Porte so will now see how good customer service is

Great work MM!

Cant believe the gorgeous pair are still waiting!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2009, 22:28:12 PM »

Lola is gorgeous

If your roof doesnt leak, please can you tell me the secret LOL

Millys Mum · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2009, 19:30:03 PM »

Thats the slowly ever getting rounder Lola Gill

we are reducing steroids so hoping she will shrink soon

I didnt get my dads jigsaw out, he would have had a hissy fit

i used an old school manual hacksaw as the previous hole just needed to be widened abit, i also had to shorten the screws so quite pleased with myself. Next job is putting the plastic roof up on the cat pen

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #16 on:** October 12, 2009, 19:23:19 PM »

Who is the cat in the picture?

The flap looks great and a jigsaw with wood is easy to use, isnt it

Back in London I hired a jigsaw from end of the road and they couldnt believe it cos took it back in an hour

Janeyk · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2009, 19:14:32 PM »

Well done! it looks great

Millys Mum · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2009, 18:51:31 PM »

That made me laugh

Theres a website that says by ordering from them you lose your distance buying rights to return the item

so if anyone is considering a pet porte avoid them like the plague, they are far from the cheapest too!

Dexter is applying his normal head first approach to his new toy

I was looking at the description the other day, I particularly liked this:

* Programmable for up to 31 of your cats

REALLY cat mad? No problem!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2009, 18:24:57 PM »

Its the newer model, petplanet sell both for the same price so seemed silly to get the basic model, i cant wait for the add on that lets you monitor from your pc

I read a great review somewhere explaining how on the first model the locks are on the base of the door flap, allowing tom cat pee to seep in and corrode the inner workings

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #11 on:** October 12, 2009, 18:05:52 PM »

Nice work MM

Love the title of the second pic

Is that the latest version of the Pet Porte? I'm soooo tempted to get one but am stopping myself for various reasons that make complete sense 1) It's only the boys in the garden so no chance of stray cats 2) I still haven't got round to fitting the 'normal' cat flap that I have had for nearly 18 months 3) They cost an arm and a leg

WOW!!! How fancy does that look!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #9 on:** October 12, 2009, 17:20:48 PM »

Just seen your edit bm, no shes still here

I decided to be brave and i fitted the pet porte

not the best of skills employed to enlarge the door cut out but it worked and you cant see how 'smooth' it is now its fitted

Need a step of some kind outside the door so it can read his chip and we are 100% stations go

Bazsmum · « **Reply #8 on:** October 09, 2009, 15:28:51 PM »

Aw bless.....I thought the gorgeous fella would of been snapped up by now! Hope it gives him some pleasure till his forever home comes!

What about Dakota....Has she been homed yet MM?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #7 on:** October 09, 2009, 15:25:13 PM »

No he cant stay here forever BM, its not fair on him as hes desperate to be part of a family and is trying hard to be nice but now 2 of my boys have started to fight back

revenge of the nerds type thing!
The pet porte is to create him his own man pad, food, catnip and bed will be all his

Bazsmum · « **Reply #6 on:** October 09, 2009, 11:45:33 AM »

Does this mean you are keeping Dexter MM?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #5 on:** October 08, 2009, 20:44:28 PM »

It started off funny but it has got silly now, they loiter at the gate. Its unfair for dexy poos, he is starting to lose his dominance so gets turfed out his bed. Supervised in the day i can get him on the sofa behind the boys backs

Saggy belly is a very smelly old cat that spits on what food is there and steals his bed.

Sorry, I know that's not meant to be funny but have visions of saggy belly spitting on Dexters food

Like you say, you can't be responsible for them all but it's good that you are looking out for them

Millys Mum · « **Reply #3 on:** October 08, 2009, 20:28:00 PM »

No im not fitting it

would hate to think of the damage i would do with a jigsaw

the hole there needs widening, after that i should be ok.

Bob is a greedy neighbours cat who eats everything in sight and doesnt go in his house as theres a nasty piece of a work of a child.
Goth cat is an immediate neighbour owned by chavs, wears studded leather collar with large cross pendant, is ultra aggressive to other cats and obvious flu carrier.
Saggy belly is a very smelly old cat that spits on what food is there and steals his bed.

All cats have 'owners' but they dont care for their animals like they should yet dont give up ownership

Saggy belly is 16 and is v.arthritic and i can smell his mouth at 10 paces, have tried to get them to take him to vet but they havnt

they are first floor and im quite sure he cant climb the stairs.
I have to accept i cant be responsible for every animal

and cant foot the bill for them all so i have to care well for what i can help. Im also hoping if dexter has his own man pad it will make his behaviour better until he gets his own proper home.

Will add they wont be shelterless as im not that mean but i wont be rigging up electricity supply to any other kennels

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #2 on:** October 08, 2009, 20:05:13 PM »

Lucky boy

Are you fitting it yourself MM? Oh, and who are 'saggy belly, goth cat and bob'?!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #1 on:** October 08, 2009, 19:56:33 PM »

I cant wait til its fitted, saggy belly, goth cat and bob wont be stealing any more food or heatpads oh no

Fingers crossed he will use it lol
