Insulating a garage door on the cheap
Comments

While it's just being used for the cat couldn't you just buy some door seals and draught excluders? And then if you want to use it as a proper room where you want to be comfortable and warm, probably best just investing in an insulated garage door? Seen these around quite a lot0

Eventual plan is to infill the door and have a nice window, turn it into a proper room.
My DIY door insulation along with replacing some draughty wooden windows in there with UPVC ones seems to be working well and there is a surprising dampening of 'street noise' like car doors closing/people talking etc. Next step is to cut an opening/install a loft hatch and add some insulation up there (I'm assuming there is none given it's a 70's house and there's no access into the garage loft space) at present.0
