Overweight cats may have an easier time of getting inside in the near future thanks to the Fat Cat Flap. Joe Inglis has developed this cat door which features a conveyor belt to carry your chubby pet inside.
The Fat Cat Flap works by using a paw identification system to let your cat inside and keep out strays. The Fat Cat Flap was developed in response to Britain's rising number of obese cats, with 50% expected to be too big to fit through regular pet doors by 2020.
