Calling all Cat Breeders: Increase Security with Window Screens!

Publishedon Thursday, February 02, 2012

Cats are perhaps the most inquisitive of domesticated animals, but do not always balance that inquisitiveness with a fear for the unknown, particularly when they are young. Open windows and doors all too often prove to be too much of an invitation regardless of what perils lie just beyond them.

For a professional cat breeder this issue is not only an occasional annoyance (we have all chased our housecats around the garden when they has escaped!), it is a threat to their livelihood, and as most breeders keep their cats indoors it is something which must be tackled head on.

Despite the fact that cats have excellent balance, they can still sustain horrible injuries if they fall from an open window. Even a short fall can be fatal to a small kitten. So breeders are faced with a dilemma each time summer comes around; suffer in a hot stuffy house, or risk one of their precious animals sustaining an injury from a fall. Even in the winter our houses can benefit from being aired out once in a while, and all cat lovers know that cats have an excellent sense of smell and will thoroughly enjoy sitting in the window (safely protected by a screen of course!) to sniff the outside air all day!

One of the best solutions to this common issue is to install Pet Screens to the windows and doors which can be easily accessed by your cats. Pet Screens allow you to open your windows and doors to increase air flow in your home without the worry that a cat will slip out without you noticing. The added benefit with our pet screens is that they also keep flies, wasps, moths and other flying pests out of the home. Take a look at our excellent range of pet screens here. Each screen comes ready to assemble with instructions and you can choose from different sizes and frame colours. If you would like to have screen specially made to your specifications, we also offer this service.

In addition, our Pet Mesh can be used to create a kitty-proof run in your garden, allowing your cats to have the freedom of the outdoors without the associated dangers. Pet Mesh is purchasable by the meter and is much stronger than our insect mesh giving you peace of mind that your cats are safe and sound inside. Check it out here.
