How to Cat Proofing your windows grills

Sister was reading dawn's blog and post a picture of our mesh. We bought ours at a shop in serangoon north(The shop opposite Raindow) for $13.90 (the bigger one shown in this picture) and $7.90 (a smaller one, the one we are now using in our living room). The one sold in 'Wu Jin Dian' is much more expensive and looked very ugly - they only use the grey wire one. I saw the pet shop in Compass Point selling the mesh at an equally 'hei dian' rate. It is easy to find one in those shops selling containers, plugs and mix mix stuff. The shop had so far restock on their mesh - they are selling white, brown, green, black meshes. I bought the black one - if you look from far, you wil not realise that there is mesh covering the window.

Dawn had suggested covering the whole window with the mesh that i think will make cleaning the window difficult and once it is covered, it is equally difficult to close and open the window.

For us, we only covered the lower part of our windows where we tighten with wire twist-ties(cost $2.80) from the same shop. Our window is exactly like the one shown in singapore cats msn except we covered only half of the window.We bought ours because there was almost a near accidcent with DD. We found DD outside our window ledge staring at us..We had a big shock and I pulled DD back into safely zone immediately. So far, none of the cats attempted to jump over the barrier we set up at the window.

Mum had asked me to cut the mesh into a size that fit each grill so that we can still open the window grill together with the mesh instead of removing all the mesh to clean the window. Posted by Picasa
