There are a variety of ways to install the flap for a cat in the window. One is to buy an already-installed unit. These are (usually) aluminium frames that are inserted into existing windows. They can be adjusted to fit a range of windows and are super simple to put in. Another option is to replace your glass panel with a new pane that comes with the cat flap included. This is a more complex installation, but the final result is more appealing than a simple cat flap that is inserted inside an existing front door.
Before you put in the cat flap it is important to introduce your cat to it. This will help them get familiar with the size and shape of it, so they'll be less reluctant to use it. You can open it up to begin with and then gradually close it until your cat is completely at ease with it.
