So, you're sold on the idea, but which is best kind of cat flap for your beloved pet?

The most basic style of cat flap, is just that. A hole cut in a door with a bendable sheet of material fixed over it, to keep out the elements, but allow the cat climb through. Obviously, this is extremely basic, and will rarely good enough for most Thornbury cat owners, who would doubtless favour something a little more weatherproof and secure for a main door to their property, although it could be appropriate for an outhouse or shed door.
