It keeps the bedroom comfortable in our hot Summers....I don't like air conditioning!

Re: Indoor only cats...


My windows push outwards from the bottom and can open really wide. They have security locks that allow a small opening. I just keep my windows on that setting. Cant open the window much but dont want the cats getting out the front of the house (or burglars coming in!!)

Re: Indoor only cats...


Fran - looking through the local paper today I see an advert for flyscreens. "Solutions to keep out flying insects, even next door's cat and keep the budgie in." etc. No website but phone 01258 455049 for a brochure.
Or I found this link on the web http://www.conceptcarpets.co.uk/flyscreens.htm

Let us know of any progress

Re: Indoor only cats...


Those look really good don't they Dm? I might be interested in the door screens as I was wondering about the French doors and if I would have to keep them shut up all summer I wonder how 'cat proof' those screens really are, we are talking Meezers here!

Re: Indoor only cats...


I wonder if they make them with a choice of mesh Fran - fabric or metal? I would think they might need metal to comply with health/hygiene requirements for food processing premises?

Re: Indoor only cats...


I shall have a look into it when I get a minute DM, it's certainly something to think about especially as they have predicted a particularly hot summer!

Re: Indoor only cats...


Well now that my 2 go out I am ok but before that i only opened the windows on the tilt opening. The screens should work. as for the fan I have a Large floor standing oscillating fan and they dont go near it.

Re: Indoor only cats...


Fran, there was a stand at the show I went to today that makes screens for windows and doors to keep the kitties in. I kept meaning to go and get a leaflet for you, but have to confess that I forgot. Sorry!!

However, to redeem myself I have also found this link for you.............

Re: Indoor only cats...


How about securing the garden Fran? Inverted fencing? Only cost me about £60 to do the lot, it works just fine and in this warm weather the back door has been open all day and the Cats are safe, I am really pleased with it.
