ZeroMOUSE Smart Cat Flap with AI Mouse Detection & App Control

Cat in, prey out.

Keep your cat's freedom while keeping unwanted “presents” outside with the TRIXIE ZeroMOUSE Smart Cat Flap. Combining AI-powered facial recognition, intelligent prey detection and app control, ZeroMOUSE gives you greater control over who — and what — enters your home.

The smart cat flap can reliably recognise your cat by their face, without requiring a microchip. Even more cleverly, its AI technology checks whether your cat is carrying prey. If a mouse or other prey is detected in your cat's mouth, the flap stays closed, helping prevent unwanted catches from being brought indoors.

The technology is based on the proven system already used by more than 15,000 customers with the ZeroMOUSE™ adapter.

How ZeroMOUSE Works

When your cat approaches the flap:

1. ZeroMOUSE takes photos of your cat as they approach.
2. AI analyses the images to recognise the cat and check for prey.
3. If prey is detected, the flap remains locked.
4. If no prey is detected, the flap opens and your cat can enter.
5. Notifications can be sent to your smartphone, keeping you informed of what's happening.

It means your cat can continue enjoying independent access to the outdoors without having quite so much freedom to bring their latest catch into the house!

AI Cat Recognition – No Microchip Required

Unlike conventional microchip cat flaps, ZeroMOUSE uses AI-based facial recognition to identify cats.

This allows the system to recognise your cat by their face without relying on a microchip, while its intelligent camera technology simultaneously checks for prey.

Control Your Cat Flap from the App

The ZeroMOUSE app gives you convenient control and an overview of your cat's movements from your smartphone.

You can:

• Monitor entries and exits
• Receive notifications directly on your smartphone
• See when prey has been detected
• Choose between different locking modes
• Set time-controlled access periods
• Manage when your cat can come and go

This is particularly useful if you want your cat to have outdoor access during the day but remain safely indoors overnight.

Easy Installation

The TRIXIE ZeroMOUSE Smart Cat Flap is designed for installation in most wooden and PVC doors.

It is compatible with common hole patterns used by microchip cat flaps. This means that if you're replacing an existing compatible cat flap, installation can often be completed without additional drilling.

FAQs

Does the ZeroMOUSE cat flap require a microchip?

No. The TRIXIE ZeroMOUSE uses AI facial recognition to identify your cat, so a microchip is not required for recognition.

How does ZeroMOUSE stop my cat bringing mice inside?

As your cat approaches, ZeroMOUSE takes images and uses AI to analyse them. If the system detects prey in your cat's mouth, the cat flap remains closed. If no prey is detected, your cat can enter normally.

What happens when prey is detected?

The flap remains locked so your cat cannot bring the prey through the cat flap. You can also receive a notification on your smartphone.

Can ZeroMOUSE detect animals other than mice?

The system uses AI-based prey recognition rather than simply detecting a cat's microchip. It is designed to recognise when a cat is carrying prey and prevent it from being brought indoors.

Can I monitor when my cat comes and goes?

Yes. Your cat's entries and exits can be monitored through the ZeroMOUSE app.

Can I set a curfew for my cat?

Yes. The app provides different locking modes, including time-controlled access, allowing you to determine when your cat is permitted to use the flap.

Will it fit where my existing microchip cat flap is installed?

Potentially. ZeroMOUSE is compatible with common hole patterns used by microchip cat flaps, so an existing flap can often be replaced without additional drilling. Check the dimensions of your current installation before ordering.

What size is the opening?

The swing door measures 15.6 × 13.6 cm.

How thick can the door be?

The ZeroMOUSE has an installation depth of 5–70 mm.

Does ZeroMOUSE need Wi-Fi?

Yes. A stable Wi-Fi connection near the cat flap is required for operation.

Is the USB-C cable supplied?

No. The cat flap is powered via USB-C, but the plug and cable are not included.

Cat In, Prey Out

The TRIXIE ZeroMOUSE Smart Cat Flap gives your cat the independence to come and go while giving you much more control over what makes it through the door.

With AI facial recognition, prey detection, smartphone notifications, entry and exit monitoring and time-controlled locking, it offers a clever solution for outdoor cats with a habit of bringing their catches home.

Your cat gets in. The mouse stays out.
