Why it matters
ZeroMOUSE fits onto an existing microchip cat flap and watches cats as they approach. When its AI detects prey such as a mouse or bird, it blocks entry, and the algorithm improves with use.
It works with most microchip flaps, including SureFlap, DualScan, Pet Flap Connect and Closer Pets models, and is weather resistant for outdoor mounting. The app controls and monitors it, with free updates.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Owners of hunting cats
- Existing microchip-flap owners
- Homes tired of prey indoors
Look elsewhere if
- Homes without a microchip flap
- Indoor-only cats
- Owners who want a simple flap
