Frequently asked questions
Prey detection and cat access
How does Flappie prevent my cat from bringing home prey?
Flappie uses artificial intelligence to detect different objects, such as birds or mice, that cats bring home as prey. When the cat has prey, the flap stays closed, preventing the cat from bringing the prey into the house.
When can my cat go back in?
Flappie stays closed as long as the cat tries to get in with prey. As soon as it tries to get in without, the cat is let in.
Does Flappie only recognize mice or also other prey animals?
Does Flappie recognize strange cats?
We know that this is important for many cat owners. We are currently working on an innovative solution that will be made available free of charge to all Flappie pre-orders. So feel free to pre-order Flappie now to benefit from all our new features in the future! Please contact support if you need more detailed information.
How reliable is prey detection?
The prey detection algorithm used in Flappie is extremely accurate and reliable. The algorithm is continuously trained and updated with new data to improve its accuracy and ensure that it can detect mice with high accuracy and minimal false positives.
Is prey detection continually improving?
The current version of Flappie prevents most prey from entering. The algorithm is constantly learning and thus the detection of prey is perfected.
Can multiple cats use Flappie?
Don't worry, Flappie can be used by multiple cats.
Can I set a schedule for my cats as to when they can come and go?
Yes you can. However, the exit cannot be personalized for each cat, but applies to all, since the chip is only read at the entrance.
Flappie app
What can I do with the Flappie app?
With the app, you can control Flappie remotely, set access rules, receive alerts when it tries to prey, and view, save, and share photos and videos of your cat with the Flappie community. You can also watch videos of other cats in the Flappieverse and follow your cat's activities.
Is the Flappie app free or is there a premium version?

Yes, you can set up individual access rules for your cat in the Flappie app. You can specify when your cat is allowed in or out and block access in both directions.
Do I absolutely need the Flappie app to use the cat flap?
No, Flappie can be used without the app. However, the app offers additional features such as activity tracking, automated lock times and notifications that are not available without the app. We also notify you about the latest software updates through the app, so we highly recommend using it.
How do I connect the Flappie cat flap to the app?

Can I receive notifications when my cat brings home a prey?
Yes, the Flappie app sends you notifications as soon as your cat tries to come into the house with prey. This way you are immediately informed and can react.
How safe is my data in the Flappie app?

You have full control over your data and we ensure that it remains confidential and protected. Your videos and photos will only be shared on FlappieTV or in the community with your consent.
Is there a way to integrate the app with smart home systems?

Can I use the app on multiple devices at the same time?

Can I view and save photos and videos of my cat via the app?

Do I need an app for Flappie or does it work without?

How easy is Flappie to install?
If you already have a cat flap, installing Flappie is easy. Compare the dimensions of Flappie with the dimensions of your doorway to make sure Flappie will fit. In general, we have adapted our dimensions to those of common cat flaps.
What dimensions are relevant for installing Flappie on glass doors or windows?
Installation on glass doors
- Minimum diameter required for installing Flappie: 212mm
- Maximum glass diameter for installing Flappie without mounting adapter: up to 215mm (larger diameters require a mounting adapter)
- Maximum glass diameter for installing Flappie with mounting adapter: 270mm (the largest diameter that Flappie can accommodate with a mounting adapter; beyond that, the hole itself is too large for the adapter)
What dimensions are relevant for installing Flappie on a wall or a solid door?
Installation on a wall or a solid door
Minimum height and width required by Flappie:
- Height: 173mm
- Width: 167mm
Maximum wall height and width for Flappie without mounting adapter:
- Height: up to 210mm
- Width: up to 175mm
Maximum wall height and width for Flappie with mounting adapter:
- This scenario does not apply because the mounting adapter is specifically designed for glass installation diameters. Wall installation will require adjustment if the opening exceeds the specified dimensions.

Maximum thickness, also with extensions:
- 200mm
Maximum thickness that works without tunnel extension:
- 36mm (without mounting adapter)

- A minimum of 19mm of space is required under the hole to accommodate the bottom part of Flappie with a 212mm circular hole.
Data protection and security

Your data is absolutely safe with us. You can decide for yourself which data is shared. Since the AI algorithms are run on Flappie itself, it is also guaranteed that the data is not transferred to external servers.
What data exactly does Flappie collect?
Flappie only records footage from outside the cat flap, so your privacy in the living room is protected. As a user, you also have the option of sharing videos anonymously with Flappie to further train the AI algorithms.
Delivery and customer support
How will Flappie be delivered to my home?
Flappie will be delivered directly to your home. As soon as the product is ready for shipping, you will receive all the necessary information for tracking the shipment. Delivery is currently planned to start in June 2025.
Will I get my money back if Flappie doesn't work?
If Flappie does not work for you, you are entitled to a refund or a replacement model within 14 days. We are confident in the quality of our product and want to make sure you are happy with Flappie.
Are there any risks associated with my pre-order?
At Flappie, we strive to provide complete transparency. Pre-ordering from us is somewhat similar to investing in a Kickstarter project and therefore carries certain risks.
Our entire team is working hard to bring Flappie to market successfully, but unforeseen challenges may arise that could impact the timeline or product development.
All funds raised go directly into the development and production of Flappie. This means that in the unlikely event of serious obstacles, a (full) refund may not be guaranteed. We are committed to regular and open communication. You will be informed immediately of all important developments and any delays.
Despite these potential risks, we are confident that Flappie will be a success. Your pre-order is not only an investment in an innovative product, but also in our vision of a better future for cats and their owners. We greatly appreciate your trust and support and will do everything we can to exceed your expectations.
