Cat Proof Window Screen

This screen comes in five sizes, 100 x 100 cm to 200 x 200 cm, so there is one above almost any opening. Order the size above your opening and cut it down to fit.

The mesh is the point. It's woven 10 x 16 from heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester yarn, so a cat can lean on it, climb it and claw it without getting through. An ordinary insect screen lasts days against the same treatment.

It keeps flies and mosquitoes out at the same time, so you are not choosing between an open window and a bug-free room.

A velcro edge presses onto hook-and-loop tape around the frame. Nothing is drilled, so it suits rentals and comes off cleanly.

Cats are curious and they do fall. This lets you have the window open in summer without the ledge becoming an invitation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I order?

An opening up to 100 cm wide and 100 cm tall, so it is the best cat proof window screen for a standard single window in the range. Order above your opening and cut it down.

What actually makes it cat proof?

The mesh. It's woven 10 x 16 from heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester yarn instead of the thin fibreglass used in insect screens. Claws do not get through it and it does not unravel when a cat hooks it.

How long does an ordinary screen last against a cat?

Days, usually. A determined cat tears a conventional insect screen quickly, which is exactly why this mesh exists.

Will it stop my cat falling out of the window?

That's what it is built for. It holds against a cat leaning, climbing or pushing at it, so you can have the window open without the ledge becoming an invitation.

Will my cat get its claws stuck in it?

The weave is tight and the yarn is thick, so claws do not catch the way they do in loose netting.

Does it keep insects out too?

Yes. It stops flies, mosquitoes and the usual bugs alongside the cat, so you are not choosing between the two.

Will a dog get through it?

It handles dog claws as well as cat claws. What it is not built for is a dog throwing its full weight at it, so a large determined dog needs a physical barrier.

How does it attach?

A velcro edge presses onto hook-and-loop tape run around the window frame. No tools, no drilling, no frame to build.

Will the tape hold if my cat pushes on the screen?

The tape grips along the whole edge rather than at points, which spreads the load. Fit it to a clean dry frame and press it down firmly all the way round.

Do I measure the glass or the frame?

The frame. The tape sticks to the flat face around the opening.

Can I cut it to fit?

Yes, with a blade or strong scissors. Order the size above your window and trim it.

What if my window is bigger than the largest size?

Ask before ordering. These are made in set sizes and also made to order.

What if my window isn't square?

Not a problem. You cut each screen to the window in front of you, which is why these suit older houses where nothing is true.

Will it damage my window frame?

No. Nothing is drilled and the tape comes away cleanly, so it works in a rental.

What colours does it come in?

White edge or black edge, same price. The mesh itself is black.

Does the edge colour change the price?

No. Pick whichever disappears against your frame.

Can I see through it?

Yes, and better than you would expect from a mesh this tough. Pet mesh gives good outward visibility because the yarn is dark.

Does it block the breeze?

No. Air moves through freely, which is the reason to fit one rather than keep the window shut all summer.

Is the mesh safe for cats to touch?

Yes. It is vinyl-coated polyester yarn, the same family of material used in outdoor furniture mesh.

Is it fire retardant?

It's a fire-retardant insect mesh.

Can I use it on a door as well?

The mesh suits doors and windows both. This kit is cut and sized for windows.

How do I open the window with it fitted?

Peel an edge back off the tape, open the window, then press it down again.

Can I leave it up all year?

Yes, and with cats most people do rather than taking it down seasonally.

How do I clean it?

Take it off and wash it in warm soapy water. Let it dry fully before it goes back on.

Will it fade in the sun?

The vinyl coating is there to hold colour and keep the yarn flexible, so it stands up to a season in a sunny window.

Does it come with the tape?

Yes, the hook-and-loop tape to fix it to the frame is part of the kit.

Can I buy the pet mesh on its own?

Yes. Pet mesh is listed as replacement mesh if you want to re-skin a screen frame you already have.

How is this different from the pet mesh velcro screen?

It's the same mesh. This one is set up and sized as a cat screen; the velcro screen range simply offers pet mesh as one of three options.

How long does it take to fit?

About fifteen minutes for the first window, less once you have done one.

Is it worth it for an indoor cat?

That is really who it is for. An indoor cat and an open window is the combination that puts cats on window ledges, and this lets you have the air without the risk.

Choosing a cat proof window screen

5 min read Magnetic Screens

Which size covers your window?

This screen covers an opening up to 100 cm wide and 100 cm tall, which suits a standard single window or a casement sash. You cut it down, so order above your opening rather than below it and trim the rest away.

Measure the frame recess rather than the glass, because the tape goes on the flat face of the frame around the opening.

What makes a cat screen different

The name is doing a lot of work. A cat screen is a protective screen for cats, and the difference from an ordinary insect screen is entirely in the mesh.

Standard insect screen is thin fibreglass. It's made to stop mosquitoes, and it does that well. Put a cat against it and you have days, not seasons. Pet mesh is woven 10 x 16 from heavy-duty vinyl-coated polyester yarn. It is thicker, it is tougher, and claws do not pierce it or drag it apart.

That buys you two things at once: the cat stays in, and the insects stay out.

Why it matters

Cats are curious and, for all their balance, clumsy. They nap in odd places, they love height, and an open window is an open invitation onto the ledge. They do fall, and landing on their feet is not the same as landing unhurt.

Without a screen the choice is a shut window and an overheated room, or an open one and a risk you think about all day. This removes the choice.

Fitting it

Wipe the frame face clean and dry it, because the adhesive gets one go. Run the hook-and-loop tape around the opening, lay the screen over it, cut it to size with a blade or strong scissors, and press the velcro edge down firmly all the way round.

Press it properly. The tape grips along the whole edge rather than at a few points, and that even grip is what takes the load when a cat leans on it.

Fifteen minutes covers the first window. Nothing is drilled, so a rental is fine and the frame is untouched when it comes off.

Looking after it

Take the screen down and wash it in warm soapy water when it needs it, then let it dry fully before it goes back up. Keep hair and dust off the tape so it keeps its grip.

Most cat owners leave these up all year rather than running them seasonally, which is the sensible approach: the window gets used more, and there is never a week where the screen is in a cupboard and the window is open.
