Measurement and marking
Measure the belly height of your pet. (Fig. 1).
Mark this measurement on the outside of your door and draw a straight
horizontal line. (Fig.2).
Please bear in mind that this line will eventually be the bottom of the
hole you will cut in your door and that the frame of the cat fl ap will be
slightly lower. If necessary, this line may have to be raised slightly to
account for this.
