WTH, cat?

We have a strictly indoor cat. Now that the weather has gotten colder, we've been opening windows rather than turning on the AC. Well, this morning my H got up to find him meowing at the back door. He busted through the screen in our bedroom window!!

What can we do other than never leave him unattended with windows? Any suggestions?

And where do I go to get a new screen made?

Re: WTH, cat?

  • Isn't there a spray that detours cats from certain things? I'd try that so you can keep them open. And depending on where you live there are repair shops for screens. I'm pretty sure there is one in oak hill. My mon mentioned it recently so if that's in your area i can ask again, if you'll email me. Findyourwayhomeinaustin at gmail dot com

  • most hardware stores will repair screens.  not sure about the big box stores, but the smaller ones definitely will.  we had one repaired at the hardware store in pville, near 685/1825 - i think it's a truValue.  Breed's also does screen repair, i'm pretty sure, if you're central.

  • We are north. I'll have to get it fixed, but I'm more concerned that it will happen again. Unfortunately, I don't think I can keep him out of them, so I guess I need to figure out how to make sure they are more reinforced? So frustrated!

  • Maybe one by one replace the screens with the metal mesh old school ones as kitty works her way through them...

    Sorry, I have no legit suggestions. I don't do cats.

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.
