cat-flaps

Feline entry panels

Cat-flaps are small hinged openings in doors that allow cats to enter and exit a house independently.

The flap swings both ways, letting the cat push through from either side: We installed a cat-flap so she could come and go as she pleased.

Some versions lock or respond only to a specific cat's microchip.
