Default cat flap in a wall

I hope someone can give me some advice if any of you have done this.

Before I have always had a cat flap in a door but now I have a new
house and the back door is a large double glazed door which would
just cost me to much to have a flap put in. A builder friend has
offered to put one in the wall for me. Has anyone any experience of
doing this? I have a couple questions:

1. As it's a cavity wall do cats have a problem going through a
tunnel?
2. The actual door seems to be on the inside leaving the tunnel
exposed to the elements (or have I got that wrong?). What's stopping
it filling with rain and allowing water to seep into the cavity wall?

Knocking holes in walls is quite a drastic thing to do so I don't
really want to do it unless it really is the right
thing............though I'm not sure what else I will do if it isn't!!


Get rid of the cat - problem solved.
