Fitting a catflap into a glass back door?


We have 'french windows' or whatever the eck they are..and the patio door is the two glass panel type doors.
Now..we've been thinking for a while about fitting a cat flap so the moggies can come and go at will instead of having to have windows open and freezing, my question is-can you fit a catflap into glass?
How?
Who would you go to to see if they could fit it?
Anything in general would be appreciated

Yes you can fit a catflap to a glass door, however you have to have the glass cut by a glazzier, and I believe you have to purchase a special cat flaps that will fit onto the glass.

I will have a google and come back

Looking at the info on the Staywell site, I think all of their catflaps can be fitted to glass.

Have a look at the fitting instrucitons here Luke

Years ago we had a cat flap, but had a glass door, so Hubby put it in the wall beside the door, a flap on the outside, a little tunnel, and a flap on the inside, it worked a treat...

Doesn't Kazz have a cat flap in her wall as well ?

I'm sure she'll correct me if I'm wrong!
