The only way I've seen this done is by replacing the lower glazing panel
with something else, looks like some kind of hard plastic on the one I
remember. Then a cat flap was fitted.


In this particular case that is not so easy as the photo shows a door
divided into three full height vertical glass panels. It would be
tricky to fit in a new cross member and not have it look a bit odd.


In our case we put the cat-flap through the wall next to the uPVC door.
The flap itself is on the inside, the other side of it there's a tunnel
to the outside. Cats seem to cope well with that.


+1 did the same here... just fitted the external bezel on the outer wall
and made up a WBP ply tunnel to link the flap and exterior bezel.
