How to aerate the house in the evening to let in the freshness without Zorro tries to jump into the garden through the open window (and without I try to follow him) ?
It’s the big question since the beginning of the heat wave, and Claire finally imagined an answer. It’s her who built our two window protections, because Momo went on Wednesday to be operated to remove three plates he had in his right wrist. Everything went well, but he cannot do much.
Claire used wooden small boards, wood lattice for vine creepers, and safety net for cat. She wanted to make something which is light, easy to set up or to remove, and little blocking. After an afternoon working, here is the result :
The window protection holds thanks to two small boards which overtake on a side and skip behind the shutter which is opened ; it leans on the other side against the inside of the shutter which is closed. Ingenious, right ?
First of all, and most important: I’m happy that Momo is doing fine!
Second: WOW! You did a great job! I know how much work this is. I really like your window screens, they’re a great alternative to mine. http://whenthecatisaway.com/how-to-make-window-screens-for-cats/ They both have the same benefits (can be easily removed / you don’t need any nails in the window frame), but a different system.
We remember your blogpost ;). Claire didn’t want to make one single hole or screw anything in the window boarder, that’s why she did it that way. Purrs
Someone is very creative with home improvement proojects. That looks so nice from the outside too.” Apparently the heatwave started here and finally ,are ot to you. We still haven’t going on over here.
That sure was a nice job with the screenings!
What a cool idea! Great job creating and building it, we are impressed! And we are sure the kitties are loving it 🙂 Glad Momo is doing well!!!
Do you not normally have window screens? Your design is ingenious and so well made. We are pretty sure Zorro and Pixie are not happy, but it is better to have them safe. So happy that Momo continues to heal. Calista Jo sends some kisses back to Zorro. Hope your heat wave breaks soon.

Window screens ? No, we don’t have it. It’s not usual here. Is it usual where you live ? Purrs
Those came out very nice, that was a lot of work.
Yay for Momo doing well 🙂
WE like your screen invention.
WE bet it works well to keep the kitties indoors, but still lets the nice breezes come in.
Over here (Canada) we have screen mesh(plastic or wire) that often come with the windows.
We need the screens to keep the flies and bugs out.

That’s pawsome. Don’t they sell window screen there? We have screens in all the windows that don’t have to be removed.
That is a great idea to keep you both safe but able to get the fresh air. I am glad Momo is doing well.
What a great solution! We forgot that you don’t have window screens in Europe like we do in the US.
What a great idea! Claire is very handy. Glad to here Momo is getting better.
Claire was very creative and handy in making a window screen to keep you safe inside.
Luckily, we have screens on all our windows. Keeps kitties in and bugs out!
What a great idea! Your mom is very creative!
That IS ingenious! And it is also very handsome looking! Your Mama is smart! 🙂
We have window screens here in Canada that can be bought for windows.They are good to keep insects out and cats safely inside! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Congratulations on a verrrry creative solution! One of a kind! Thank you for sharing it!
Those look very nice. We have regular door and window screens. But if we didn’t, TBT would probably just put up some of that 2″ x 3″ vinyl-coated wire mesh.
Great idea! We have a window screen.
