Hungry Dog

[Floody]

The idea will be that the dog is heavy enough to hit both switches, cat can only switch one.

Nice one Floody, an elegant solution. Well that's Fido's little problem sorted out I'll see if I can think of a new problem when I have a few spare minutes:hurray:.

I just showed my mother and she said....

'well what if the dog and the cat are as heavy as each other'

Typical woman making it awkward.

Cheers Mam haha

Lol, if you're mum's reading these threads maybe it was a good job there weren't any clever cat ----ing devices involved.

Well she said to bag it and throw it in the river... But she's not your average mum

Given the path this project has taken, I'm now partial to consider something a little extreme.

I have a background in theatre / live events, and there were occasions where we used a device called a kabuki, a load release mechanism. Now we would need to rig the firing unit with a feed from the appropriate microswitch, but now Fido is the heavier of the two, it no longer appears as straightforward as it once was to action that.

I'd be inclined to allow the cat to over indulge once again, Marvo, and then let him suffer the consequences.

Nice thread Marvo

OR you could just buy one of these Trixie 4 Way Magnetic Locking Door Cat Flap - White - Total Warehouse

Magnetic cat flap that only lets the animal with the magnetic tag on its collar through the flap, but I see what you have being doing mate

Aye failing to see the benefit/ comical genius of a cat ----ing device type trebuchet type thing !!!

Who wants to shut the lid on moggy when it's sooooo much more fun lobbing him out of the window against his will
