Just had another thought...if you sew a row of curtain tape to the top like regular curtains, but use a pole with wooden rings you will get a nice drape if you wangt some fullness in it.
another thought....you can hang the quilt FROM the door by attaching small wooden cleats first. using a spring-bar, the quilt can hang straight down to more cleats and another spring bar. leave a cut out in the corner with it's own teeny quilt for your puss.

does the wind come in only through the door or through all the windows as well?

can you do a large bi-fold door with quilted panes? they do that on windows in milan (no quilts, just shutters). again you could leave a small opening for chubby. or just hang his little drape.
if id doesn't hang well, you can do what someone here suggested - hang the unhinged corner with hook and eye overnight. the shutter could have weather-stripping on all the panel bottoms. i envision 3 or 4 so they don't bunch up when opened.
