Solid door = No cat flap, use window for a cat flap instead.
I let the tenants install cat flaps in glass doors or low windows. Its written into the tenancy agreement and when they vacate they must replace the glass.
All the best,

Problem solved - thank you.
You always pick up something new here, even if it's obvious and even if you act like you know it all anyway.
But, you are stuck with a hole in your door, for ever and eternity, surely?

In this particular situation I was doing a favour to a 'friend' by letting her have the house at a very low rental. I had some stuff stored in the shed on the property. The alarm also covered the shed and I lost a lot of stuff in the burglary.
After the burglary I told the tenant that the arrangement was over unless she agreed to use the alarm and leave the cat outside.
BUGGER!....But,..C'mon don't ya know the rule,....DON'T rent to family or friends
I've been down this track with renting to my sister and then her friends,.......NEVER again!
Useless buggers and pains in the arse!........ Let them sort their own shit out!
Can you explain this further,....as I can't see how this would be a LL problem anyway?!

T Can I please have a cat flap for my new pussy? I'll pay to have it put in and fixed up when I leave?
LL .....Hestitation....
Any comments, advice, experience?

No problems at all. Let them pay for the install, and leave the 'cat-flap' in place after they leave (easy enough to close off if not needed).
Just make sure that you have glass cover through your insurance to cover any breakages after that tenant leaves.
(AMI Insurance does $10 per year glass cover......AWESOME VALUE!!)
I'm ok with cat flaps, but only if they can be convenienlty placed in the bottom panel of a glass door.
Keeps the tenant happy and also keeps the silly cat happy.
Having said that, I had a tenant recently who wouldn't turn the alarm on because she wanted the cat inside the house during the day. She was burgled and lost a lot of her personal stuff. After that incident I blocked up the cat flap and told her the cat stays out during the day.
