TIL, all I can find is it’s kind of an urban legend legend. It said he cut holes out in his door to keep the cats from scratching while he was working at Cambridge

This isn’t true. A quick google search says the cat door was invented long before Newton’s time.
Look how easy it is to make up straight bullshit, post it on the Internet, and watch thousands or millions of people believe it as the absolute truth. 9.5K upvotes for a comment that isn’t true at all.

This is such an ADHD kinda thing to do. Newton’s like, yeah, I really need to crank out this research on how shit moves, but first I need to let the cat out. Now if I have to stop working everytime to let the cat out, I’ll never finish by the deadline in a month, so let’s figure this out cause there’s gotta be a better way. *29 days later* OK, Mr. Applecrumbs can now pass through the hole I’ve cut in the door, and I’ve added a weighted canvas to keep the cold out. Not so heavy that little kitty mister can’t push through but heavy enough that it will fall… OH SHIT! *a few hours of furious writing later* Gravity!
