I fired off a quick question to the surveyor that did the wall in the first place to see what he thinks. The pier was right on the edge of what the minimum size it could be for regulations, so I imagine it would need at least another little lintel if you cut a hole in the pier but I can also see him just saying no.
A cat tunnel would be awesome! We have a suspended floor but new underfloor heating and stone floors. I think an exciting first floor exit might be the only way around this.
We only finished the kitchen a couple of months ago. This cat is looking like it could be expensive to install; I clearly missed a cat shaped variable when we designed our kitchen.

You can, of course, make a hole in the brick pier so long as the engineering is properly considered.
But you'll need an [expensive] structural engineer to work it out.
Do you have a suspended timber floor? You could put a flap under the doors with a tunnel that pops up between two joists.
That'd be rad.
