I would suggest having the door swing in. That way you could glue a tab on the inside of the door so when the inevetable happens and your pet decides to leave he cannot. You can even use the magnet as your stop.
As for cutting the acrylic like that, you will be hard pressed to break it out with a clean break. If you plan to try that you may need to drill out the corners of the door cut out so it will snap off nicely. It will be difficult either way.
