Around feb 2002 the missus came up with the idea that a cat door could
incorporate a microchip reader, to read the chip that cats routinely
have implanted

"The usual mechanism is the implantation of an electronic identity
device into the pet.  Such devices are usually compatible with ISO
standards 11784 and 11785.  A hand-held scanner capable of reading the
implanted microchip is used to manually identify the pet as required.
These microchips when read return a pre-programmed string.  In the
most common embodiments, these strings are numeric sequences, usually
between ten and fifteen digits long.  For most practical purposes, the
microchip number of a pet can be considered unique, and most unlikely
to replicated in another pet living nearby.

The object of this invention is to bring together the pet door with
pet microchip technology to deliver a truly selective pet door.
Accordingly, this invention describes a selective pet door capable of
reading and reacting to implanted pet microchips."

And back to HA:

"With the addition of a serial or other data port, an external
intelligent apparatus (for example, a computer,  home automation or
security system) could be aware of whether the pet(s) are in or out."
