A battery-operated cat-flap. For <del>battery-operated<\/del> cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We soon noticed, post battery-operated cat-flap implementation, that the house stopped smelling quite so &#8216;catty&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so it has continued. The battery-operated cat-flap has continued to let our cats in (and out!), and it has continued to keep invading cats (that ginger tosser from next door) out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the battery-operated cat-flap began to get through batteries quicker and quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we moved to rechargeable <del>cats<\/del> batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we rotate the batteries every 3-4 days, which isn&#8217;t long, really. There must be something in the design of the cat-flap that makes it eat battery juice. Or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I ordered a new battery for the ZX10R. I was offered a choice. I could order a Kawasaki battery for \u00a3180. Or I could order a battery with a different name on it for \u00a380.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well gosh, that&#8217;s a tough choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of years ago, when we got the dog first pair of cats, we put a cat-flap in.
