My flap..............I mean their flap is in a double glazed plastic door..........dont know what they are made of  :rofl: :rofl:

So no problem but in London the flap was in a wooden door and this never occured to me cos it wa there for 10 years without a problem...........maybe I was lucky or it didnt get wet much!

Have to say it was easier to put in a wooden door!

Shock Alert !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Wood expands in wet weather.

We check the smooth swinging motion of out cat flaps quite often and to be honest would be alerted pretty quick if Dinah couldn't get through.

We are catsitting atm and OH noticed that one of gingers having difficulty getting in so he's insisted on me posting this.  We have filed it down a wee bit but our "Alan" will be asked very nicely to go and sort it out properly tomorrow.
