It should in no circumstances be attempted and renders the double glazing unsafe.

A trustworthy Long Eaton cat flap fitter will diligently get the dimensions of your existing unit and order a ready prepared one from a local glazing supplier. As part of its construction this new double glazed panel will have a hole pre-cut, which the cat flap can be installed perfectly into. This can take a week or so to manufacture, but it is basically the only way to fit a cat flap in an existing patio or double glazed door. As soon as your new glass panel is delivered, the fitter will take out the old unit, and swap it for the brand new "cat flap ready" pane. Your cat flap can then be fitted.
