There are several ways to install a cat flap in a window. One option is to purchase a pre-installed unit. These are (usually), aluminium frames that are attached to existing windows. They are simple to install and can be adjusted to fit any window. Another alternative is to replace the glass panel with a brand new pane that comes with the cat flap built in. This is a more difficult installation, but the final result is far more appealing than a flap that is inserted inside an existing door.
Before you install the flap for your cat prior to installing the flap, you must introduce your cat to it. This will help them get used to the size and shape of it, which will cause them to be less hesitant to use it.

It is important to take off your window screen prior to installing the cat flap in order to measure the hole. You will need to make sure that the hole is an oval shape, and that the flap for your cat will fit into it. You can usually do this by following the directions of the manufacturer.

You can also opt for a magnetic pet-door. These are similar to the four-way flaps, but they have a microchip which ensures only your cat can get in. They're typically more expensive than other pet doors, however they're a good option if you're worried about your neighbours pets gaining access to your home.
