cat flap
Feline door entrance
A cat flap is a small hinged opening in a door that allows a cat to pass through independently.
The flap swings both ways, letting the cat enter or exit without human assistance.
Some modern versions are activated by a sensor on the cat's collar or microchip: We installed a cat flap so she could go out at night.
Also called a cat door.
