Window Problems...
Hello Cat People of Reddit!
My boyfriend and I recently adopted a cat this month, his name is Murphy and he is sweet but very timid and shy still. He loves to come out at night and sit on the window sill. This wasn't a problem until this morning. He some how brushed up hard against the screen and it popped off (there was some previous damage to the screen before) and he went outside (we assumed he fell since he always been an indoor cat). He luckily stayed on the porch until we found him this morning and brought him in. Our problem is we are on the third floor so he luckily was at the right window other wise he would fell a good distance. We enjoy having our windows open so we are trying to figure out some alternatives to keep them open at times and not worry about our boy falling.
First plan, getting a new screen on the broken one.
Second plans, preventing him from being up there or being able to brush against the screen... I have seen some ideas
-Child window guard - wouldn't work he is too small and would be able to go through.
-Tension rod - I was thinking of placing a tension rod on the lower part above the window sill and in the middle so he wouldn't be able to sit on the window sill.
-Making a little "fence" to put on the inner part of the window frame so he can't brush up on the screen.
Other ideas?? I am trying to remain tasteful with my choices as much as I can but I want his safety too. Much appreciated!
