A cat flap is essentially your cat’s very own front door to your home and allows it to come and go as and when it needs to. If you do have a cat then fitting a cat flap is really a necessity. Fitting a cat flap in glass requires a small-medium flap space to be cut into the glass. After which the flap can then be installed and sealed off. Starting in one hole, use the jig saw to make a straight cut from one corner to the next, following the template as closely as possible. Repeat until you have cut out the opening for the cat door. (Similar to the drill bit, be sure to use a jig saw blade intended for use on metal if cutting a metal door) On average, most cats measure around 4.7 inches from the floor to their stomach. If you own multiple cats, consider measuring the height of the smallest cat. The taller cats will not face any problem going through the flap of a shorter height, but the shorter cats will surely face trouble leaping through a flap of a higher height.

When it comes to glass doors, as you may imagine, these can be extremely difficult to fix into and require specialist glass drilling and cutting equipment.
