How normal is this??
My local cat rescue insists on a cat flap if you re-home a single cat and work out of the home.
They have turned me down post home check when I reiterated that I won't be installing a cat flap into my large double glazed French doors. I know it can be done by buying another glazing unit for the door but I don't want to do that!
This is after 30 years of having large and small animals, cats that lived happily until their late teens (without a cat flap), lovely dog pts recently that was vv old.
I don't want a cat flap - cat will either be inside or outside depending on what they want to do that day!
