If so, there will be a BS mark you can see at the corner of the glass somewhere. You will not be cutting toughened glass either.
If it won't go in the timber board at the bottom without affecting the strength, you will have to reconstuct the DGP shorter, add another glazing bar, and board the rest around the assy.

Your existing doors will already have toughened glass units installed... which means you cant have a hole cut in it...you need a new unit.
You should call someone who does double glazing repairs...they will measure the unit size, and give the measurements to a glazier who will arrange to have the holes cut in the new glass and this will then need to be toughened.
The glazier then makes up the unit and gives it to the repairer who will then come back and fit it for you.
It's not quite poking a hole in the glass... and sticking a cat plap in it...!
Bizzare ...... not a word that springs to mind when you may be charged £300 for fitting a cat flap .
