Smart cat flap temporarily locks your kitty out if it detects it's holding prey

While our cats may just think we are terrible, hairless hunters, their'gifts' of a chewed up mouse are not always welcome. To help prevent this messy occurrence, an entrepreneur has created a smart cat flap that will lock your kitty out the house temporarily while they are holding their prey. Martin Rosinski, 37, was sick of being woken by his adorable serial killer Jinx, who would drag in rodents at night and meow loudly to alert her sleeping owners. In June 2021, the app technical director modified his microchip cat flap by installing a camera and artificial intelligence (AI) technology that detects the presence of prey. If prey is recognised, the cat flap is temporarily locked and a notification is sent to the owner's phone along with a video of the attempted entry.
