Hej, Jag tog denna fråga vidare till vår leverantör och fick ett långt och bra svar om hur man kan lära katten att använda halsbandet och luckan, dock på engelska, bifogad i detta svar. Så som vi torkar texten är att magneten måste ”peka” mot den nedre delen av tunneln för att fungera, och därmed kan den nog inte hänga på sidan av halsbandet. Kanske går det att träna ännu mer med katten så att den till slut inte tycker att ljudet är obehagligt? Finns det något som katten tycker är extra gott som gör att den inte bryr sig speciellt mycket om ljudet?
Training your cat to use the magnetic collar key:
Before allowing your cat to use the cat flap, it is wise to acquaint your self with the operation of the magnetic lock. From the outside of the house take the collar key in your hand and then move it to the bottom of the fixed tunnel attached to the inner frame. You should hear the lock mechanism “click”. (Please note that this will only work when the cat fl ap is fully assembled).
Leaving the magnet on the tunnel, push the flap using your hand. You should note that the flap will not open if you hold the collar key against the flap in your hand – only when leaving it on the fixed tunnel. You can prove this by trying to push the flap with your hand when the magnet is not on the tunnel. Only when the cat is comfortable going in and out of the cat flap whilst the flap has been propped open, (in line with the general training tips in the previous section) should you fit the collar key onto your cat’s collar. When fixing the collar to your cat, ensure that the collar key is positioned centrally below your cat’s chin. (Please note that the magnetic collar key is required only to enter the cat flap).
Some cats can take time to get used to the operation of the magnetic cat flap - some learning more quickly than others. The emphasis here is on persistence; try using a favourite treat to not only coax your cat through the cat flap, but to encourage the cat to move their head, and therefore their collar key towards the base of the tunnel.
If your cat has only just become familiar with the using a cat flap, it may take some patience to teach your cat how the magnetic function works. When your cat makes progress, give them a lot of praise. Keep repeating the exercise until your cat can come through the cat flap comfortably.
Jag hoppas det löser sig! Mvh, VetZoo
