This varies a bit with the cat. The absolute minimum gap a cat requires is slightly greater than the height of its skull (cat's heads are wider than they are high). There are videos of kittens forcing their way under a door which has about a one-inch gap; for most cats, it seems two and a half to three inches is the minimum.
