Is this the most expensive cat flap?

    Could you get a window lock that will allow a window to be opened just enough for the cat to get out but not a burgular in?
    If the windows are too high, how about leaving a set of the old fashioned step ladders outside or something for her to use to get up to the window level, a set of boxes, a small storage shed or shelves fited to the outside wall? (something that can be easily removed or fixed)

    You mentioned that the door is in one panel, so presumably you mean there is no middle rail - sometimes you just have a panel in the bottom half of the door about 30 inches square and the flap fits into that, which is a cheaper option.

    Presumably the £125 includes the flap, so if this if for the whole door I don't think that sounds too bad. I think you would be better biting the bullet and doing this rather than fiddling around with windows, tunnels through brickwork etc - what happens if something goes wrong if you try and diy and you get left with a costly bill?

    I had a hole knocked into my wall and have two cat flaps either side - it cost me about £50 but that was about 10 years ago now.

    I don't think £125 is too bad really.

    You could always open your door to let your cat out and in.
