My Cat vs. The Window Screen: Who Will Win?

So, you love your cat, but your window screens? Not so much. I used to think screens were safe—until my little fur tornado decided they were the ultimate climbing gym. Here’s what actually worked (after a lot of trial, error, and minor emotional breakdowns): Scratching posts everywhere. Vertical ones, because apparently, screens are vertical too. Nail trims. I’m not saying my cat loves it, but at least my screens aren’t shredded. Double-sided tape. My cat’s face the first time? Priceless. She hates sticky paws more than the vacuum. Spray deterrents. Smells fine to me, but my cat acts like I’ve committed a war crime. Chicken wire. Yes, my windows look like a fortress, but hey, the screens are intact. Reinforced screens. Pet-proof mesh is a game changer if you’re at your wit’s end. If your cat is plotting an escape, reinforce those screens with duct tape or screws. Trust me, it’s better than chasing a cat down the street at 2am. #CatLife #PetProofing #CatParents #Pets #Cats
