cat door

Feline entry flap

A cat door is a small hinged flap cut into a door or wall, allowing a cat to pass through freely without human assistance.

The flap swings both ways, letting the cat enter or exit at will.

Some versions are sized for dogs or lock electronically to admit only pets wearing a sensor collar.

Also called a pet door or cat flap.
