If you're tired of random cats entering your home, it's worth investing in one of the best microchip cat flaps. Not only do they prevent unwanted visitors from coming in and stressing out your pets, but you can also set a curfew for your kitty and be alerted about their whereabouts.

As a pet parent, I know that they're a little pricier than traditional ones. However, I truly believe that they're worth the money in the long run and an investment that can bring you and your cat some peace of mind.

This week, I've been watching the Black Friday cat deals and have spotted some incredible deals on microchip cat flaps—saving you up to 42%. So, if the price tag is the only thing holding you back, I recommend jumping on these discounts sooner rather than later before they're gone for good!

Below, I've rounded up five deals that I believe are worth your money. All of these products have earned our stamp of approval after undergoing our rigorous testing process. You can read more about how PetsRadar finds the best deals and how we test.

Do vets recommend microchip cat flaps?

Do vets recommend microchip cat flaps? I asked one to find out!

Dr. Hannah Godfrey says: "I often recommend microchip cat flaps to pet owners, and I have one myself. There are a few different options depending on how much you want to/can spend, and these can help stop other cats in the neighborhood from entering your house and control your cat’s comings and goings.

"If you have more than one cat, the highest specification microchip cat flaps allow you to choose different settings for different microchips – so if one cat has an early visit to the vet the next morning and needs to be starved, you can set the cat flap to keep them inside overnight while letting the other cats out. Similarly, if there’s bad weather forecast or you’re expecting fireworks to be let off nearby, you can set the cat flap to let your cats inside and lock them in, keeping them safe."
