catflap
Feline entry point
A catflap is a small hinged door set into a larger door or wall, allowing a cat to pass through freely without human assistance.
Also called a cat door.
Some catflaps use electronic sensors to admit only pets wearing a special collar tag: The catflap keeps the neighbor's cats out.
