Types of protection screen for cats
Cat protection screens are distinguished by two main aspects: opening size and material. Screen size is important to ensure the kitten does not escape through openings. For kittens or pussies that like to chew and scratch things, the most suitable is the use of protective screens with a 3×3 cm opening. This size is enough for the cat to not be able to pass or even put its snout to try to chew the screen.
The measure 5x5cm is the most recommended for adult cats and cats that have a more peaceful nature, generally, those that are used to living indoors. The material is another important point when choosing the best projection screen for cats. The screen must be made of resistant and durable material, a good choice is the polyethylene screens. Avoid materials that can be broken by the cat’s teeth, such as nylon.
Cat protection screen care
After the protective screen is already installed, it is important to take some basic precautions to ensure that it lasts longer and does not lose resistance, starting to pose risks to your feline. See the tips below:
- Never remove the screen from its place, either to clean or to make any kind of adjustments. If necessary, call a qualified professional to make the necessary changes;
- When cleaning the screen, use only a cloth lightly dampened with neutral detergent and water. Do not soak the screen too much, much less use abrasive chemicals. This type of substance can damage the fabric’s fibers and end up breaking the threads over time;
- Always keep an eye on your kitten and his behavior. If you notice that he is moving, biting, or scratching the screen, check the condition of the material and, if possible, keep your cat away from this environment. It could be that he has his eye on some “prey” out there or another cat. The best thing to do is always to avoid situations that cause the cat to want to go out.
