Victorian terraces
Areas such as Jericho, East Oxford and Cowley have Victorian terraces with narrow back gardens. A cat flap in the back door is usually the simplest option. Many of these houses are rented, so get your landlord's agreement first.
Conservation areas
Much of central and north Oxford is in conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent for changes to original features. A flap in a modern rear door is usually acceptable.

Questions from homeowners in Oxford
I rent in East Oxford. Can I have a cat flap?
With your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often easiest to agree.
Can a flap go in my flat's front door?
No, it's a fire door. A ground-floor garden door may be an option with consent.
