The only way I've seen this done is by replacing the lower glazing

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.



No need for a ply tunnel. You just needed one of those proper drills,
like they used on the Covent Garden safe deposit raid. A big Hilti IIRC.


Did that have a cavity then?



Solid brick walls here unfortunately, but I take your point. I hadn't
thought of the kitty going off into the cavity and getting lost, poor
thing. You can begin to see how we managed to go through 3 or 4 cats in
as many years.

I was just impressed by how smooth the hole bored by the Hilti was.
Nothing to snag the poor kitty's fur at all.
