Hi

Looking for some help insulating a cat flap.
It sounds like a small problem but our kitchen is freezing bacause of this gaping hole in our wall.

This is the current set up:
I've cut a hole in the exterior wall, just wide enough to fit the cat. It has a cat flap on the outside wall.
The hole opens behind the kitchen presses, and there's a cat flap on the side of the press. The wind howls through the cat flap, in winter the heat is on full just to get thew room warm. As soon as the heat is turned off the kitchen is freezing.

I know this is a bit generic, but would anyone have an idea how I could insulate this system?

Thanks
