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.

The flange on the cat flap requires a rectangular hole ideally...

In fact I started with a round hole that had been core bored with a 4"
core - it was originally a tumble drier vent. I had to SDS chisel it to
re-purpose for the cat.
