Maybe OP could ask Mats Hummels to bring one over with him?

I did and he said "Ich bin allergisch gegen Katzen". No idea what it means, but he went quiet on me.

We've had a couple of live mice, but Tigger is so proud of himself, he wants to deposit them beside the bed as present. Luckily, my other half had seen him, although once we were chasing the mouse around the airing cupboard trying to get it trapped in a tupperware box. We failed, and Tigger pounced, taking it back outside, huffily, as he wasn't impressed with our gratitude.

Maybe the OP could learn how to spell more like! 20 plus posts and not one fish pun, very disappointing!

you did ask for a kind Sole ( flat fish ) whereas you meant kind Soul.
I have offered to help out @Couldn't Be Hyypia , he's just ordered one of these which should arrive at my apartment shortly, I will then send it on. Feel free to Whatapps me and arrange similar.

You do realise you've just lumbered yourself with the 'Sole UK Importer' gig?

I'd be a bit concerned having read the 'how it works' section, there's a lot of room for error and potential for the cat having to wait to be let in (min 7 seconds), I'm not sure I'd want to have confused cats, they kind of need to know the flap is going to work:-
How does the active blocking of ZeroMOUSE work?
How it works when blocking is activated:
1. As soon as movement is detected in front of the flap, we block and ZeroMOUSE waits for the cat to enter the tunnel.
2. When the cat enters the tunnel, ZeroMOUSE takes the images and the AI analyzes them. This lasts about 7 seconds during which the flap is blocked and the cat tries to enter the flap. She has to get used to it, it's currently slower than before without ZeroMOUSE.
3. If the AI detects that there is no loot, we release the hatch. The cat's chip is then recognized and the flap opens. This can be heard by the click of the shutter.
4. If the AI recognizes that there is prey, the flap is blocked until the cat leaves the tunnel again, then the whole thing starts again.
Current security features:
1. If the WLAN is disrupted and ZeroMOUSE does not receive a response from the AI within 10 s, we always release the flap. A well-functioning WLAN is therefore essential for the function.
2. If the cat enters the tunnel too quickly and no clear image is recognized, we release the flap. It is therefore important that ZeroMOUSE has the opportunity to detect the movement approximately 0.5 - 1 second before the cat enters the tunnel.
Tracking functions in case prey is detected:
1. If prey is detected, we change the behavior
2. For x seconds afterwards (starting value is 1800 seconds, 30 minutes) and y attempts (starting value is 10 attempts) it will not open if ZeroMOUSE is not clearly “clean” i.e. does not detect any prey.
3. This is so that the cat cannot bypass the system.
4. The value can be set, but currently only via a support request, later via the app.
The cats get used to the changed behavior of the flap, even if they may have some problems with it at first. They also learn that they cannot come into the house with the prey and therefore come with prey less often. At the same time, we are working on reducing the time for detection. In the future, we plan to bring detection to ZeroMOUSE so that we become independent of WiFi. The first development steps are already underway.

No idea. Whatever it was I missed it too. That was my post in full. It wasn't even an intentional fish pun

If our cat is out at night he’s not getting back in until morning. No drama we still get the odd present left at the back door.

I need one of these, can I have a link?
The edit was simply my insertion. Nothing was deleted. I was just (attempting to) making a joke. Not a very good one. Apologies. As you were.

Upgrade Your Microchip Cat Flap - Experience the power of AI in ZeroMOUSE™ device. With ZeroMOUSE™ prey has no chance to come into your house.zeromouse.ai
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.
Just as well mine is a lover, not a fighter........
It would be more clever if it could stop domestic cats killing wildlife in the first place.

My cat had his annual check up last week. He has a small scar by his nose, from a neighbourhood cat, but I also told the vet he catches mice.
Ah, a proper cat, said the vet.
You cannot change an animal's instinct. The reason small cats were 'domesticated' was to keep vermin down.

Different strokes for different folks. Cats are very unpopular in Oz. They decimate the native wildlife
