Victorian terraces
Terraces in areas such as Newtown, Katesgrove and Redlands usually have narrow back gardens with a rear door, ideal for a cat flap. Solid brick walls can take a wall flap with an extended tunnel, but the back door is usually quicker.
Flats near the station
Apartment buildings around the station and town centre have fire-rated flat entrance doors that can't take a flap. Ground-floor flats with a garden door may have an option, with consent.

Questions from homeowners in Reading
Can a flap go through a solid brick wall?
Yes, with an extended tunnel, but a back door installation is usually quicker.
I rent. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
