Can any NSC member in Germany help?

I want to buy a German product, but currently they only deliver to Germany. Is there any kind sole who would let me get it delivered to them and then forward it on to me in the UK? I will happily pay all costs, of course.

In case you're interested, and worry it might be something a bit dodgy, it's a catflap adapter that spots when your cat is carrying an animal and keeps the cat flap locked. Clever beggars these Germans!!

it would be even cleverer if it then doused the cat in water and told it to behave.

I believe I may have mentioned I live in Germany?

Seems quite clever. We get three or four birds, mice, rats or moles a night. One of our cats is a bloody machine. Some just get released, some get partially eaten, some are stashed away under a sofa or spare bed for later. Always there is carnage when we get up in the morning.

This Zeromouse will adapt our existing cat flap, but coming next year are cat flaps with this built in.

Only Cat is not available yet I don't think. You can order it but in effect you are paying to be part of a crowd sourcing scheme. They will deliver it when they start manufacturing. And if they go out of busines....no cat flap.

Thanks.

We have a Sureflap that only lets our cat in (via the microchip in the cat and a RFID chip in the flap). It works well to keep other cats out (or did, when we lived somewhere where there were other cats), but does nothing to keep out prey.

Your problem is worse than ours - we get 1 prey animal every other day on average.

You can add the Zeromouse to a Sureflap - in effect it's a camera that sits in the outside tunnel. If the cat has prey, the cat flap won't open. It's a clever idea - but they won't deliver to the UK.
A sureflap won't open if there's prey detected, even if it's the 'right' cat? Blimey. I'll take a proper look then.

EDIT: I'm in too please. @Herr Tubthumper do you know anyone who lives in Germany?

Get rid of the cat - far cheaper.

6a) If no prey is detected by the AI, ZeroMOUSE™ does nothing, so the flap is reacting as normal.
6) If prey is detected ZeroMOUSE™ sends out an additional RFID signal. Then the flap "thinks" there is an additional foreign cat in front of the flap and does not open.

Yeah - thanks. That's impressive. I'm in.

Cat flaps have a thingy that can be turned to open out only thus stopping cats and foxes getting in.
Our cat knows he cant get back in and so on winter nights refuses to leave until we are up to let him back in.
