Step 1 - Yes we know its unlikely the cat will stand still when you want him to.

The point of this is to get an ideal of the height to the top of your cats legs when standing, this is the height you will be fixing the bottom of the cat flap to, as its the most comfortable for your cat.

UPVC door panels will leave an exposed edge of core foam and possibly a thin layer of ply, to finish this of neatly cut the foam back an inch and line the hole with some UPVC batten (or Timber) you can either glue the sections in to place or screw in from the out side.

This will also reinforce the bolts which hold the catflap and you will need to drill through it.

Now its time to mark out and drill the holes to hold your cat flap to do this hold the cat flap in position ensuring it is level then mark the four holes with a pen, remove your cat flap out of the way then drill completely through the panel.

Use a drill bit slightly larger then the bolt its self as this make alignment easier.

Finally use the bolts provided to bolt the cat flap in to place its also best to use some neutral cure silicone around the exterior and interior of the catflap to seal it into place.
