noun cat flaps · cat-flap · catflap

  1. A small, hinged panel, usually cut into a door, with an opening just large enough for a cat to enter. Then, one Saturday when Martin was working but Yvonne wasn't, she brought a saw and other tools with which she constructed a hinged "cat flap" in a rear down-stairs door. It meant that the cats were free to come and go at any time, the effect being healthier for the pets and for the household.
