Decided to check to see how big I need for the opening before it gets impossible to change the size

   Two apartments in one...maybe the heat of two cats sleeping close might be a help?  A wall will separate the cats. It will have store bought insulation sandwiched between boards in all areas...Maybe I'll build another one for me in case I get run out of the house.

  I think I'll install a bell in there in case they might need more blankets.

I measured the cat. That was fun. Hole turned out to be 10 inches square. When I put the curve at top my wife complained she needed more room to put blanket inside.

Your cats must be bigger than mine...my opening is 5" wide and 8" tall at the tallest point. And I am thinking of making the door way into a hall way to try and keep more heat that they build up inside instead of trying to warm up the world.

Cats are probably the same size. My wife insisted they needed a bigger opening. I suspect your hole is about the same size as what I started with.  Doesn't matter to me I am merging the house with a sawhorse. So two cat houses and two sawhorses but only one unit.   Multi purpose build.
