dog door
Canine entry flap
A dog door is a small hinged flap set into a door or wall, allowing a pet to pass through independently.
Though named for dogs, cat-sized versions are common.
Some use magnetic or electronic locks that respond only to a tag on the pet's collar: We installed a dog door so she can let herself out.
