The pet industry is developing rapidly, and within the cat flap segment, we are also seeing a clear wave of innovation. While microchip cat flaps were previously considered advanced, artificial intelligence is now making its entrance.

With the introduction of ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0, Warmako is responding to a growing need among cat owners: a clean home, without unwanted prey.

Smart technology as the new standard

Consumers increasingly expect products to be not only functional, but also intelligent and connected. Within pet specialty retail, this translates into a growing demand for:

• Smart feeding solutions
• Monitoring via apps
• Automation of daily tasks

ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0 perfectly aligns with this. This AI extension works with existing microchip cat flaps and adds a completely new functionality: prey detection.

Recognizable problem = strong sales

Almost every owner of an outdoor cat knows it: a cat proudly coming home with a mouse or bird. While natural behavior, this often causes frustration indoors. ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0 offers a direct solution for this:

• Detects prey via AI image recognition
• Automatically blocks the cat flap
• Allows cats without prey to enter normally

This makes the product very easy to sell on the shop floor, as it addresses a universal problem.

How does it work?

The integrated camera takes images as soon as the cat approaches the cat flap. These are immediately analyzed by AI software.

• No prey --> access is granted
• Prey detected --> cat flap remains closed

Thanks to infrared night vision, this system works 24/7, even in the dark. Moreover, the system continues to monitor, making it difficult to circumvent.

Why is it interesting for pet stores?

ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0 is not just a gadget, but a product with clear commercial advantages:

1. Upsell without replacement
   Customers do not need to purchase a new cat flap. This significantly lowers the purchase threshold.
2. Quick installation
   Installable within minutes, making it attractive even for less tech-savvy consumers.
3. Innovative and distinctive
   AI in cat flaps is new and attracts attention on the shelf and online.
4. Recurring relevance
   Through continuous software updates, the product continues to evolve.

Cross-selling opportunities

This product is ideal for additional sales:

• Microchip cat flaps (such as existing RFID solutions)
• USB-C power accessories
• Smart pet products
• Cat hygiene products

By positioning ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0 within a smart pet assortment, you increase the total spending per customer.

Today's consumer demands convenience

The modern cat owner looks for solutions that:

• Save time
• Improve hygiene
• Smartly utilize technology

ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0 precisely addresses this need and transforms a traditional product into a smart, future-oriented solution.

With ZeroMOUSE™ 2.0, Warmako introduces an innovative product within an existing category. By applying AI to cat flaps, a powerful combination of convenience, hygiene, and technology is created.
