I am sure this question has been asked before but I need some really thrifty hints.
The two windows I have for the cats to look out are 3 stories up. I really worry about them falling through the screens if the windows are left open too far. With hot weather just around the corner, we will all broil if the windows aren't open. I want them to be able to see outside.
So, need some super cheap/creative ways to make my two safer. I live in an apartment so cannot do anything too permanent - beyond a few hooks/nails. I cannot afford the "cat screens".
Here are some off the wall things I have considered. Large plastic canvas sheets that can be somehow hooked outside the window frame. Or some type of metal grating (if I can find it free) that I can attached with a few nails.
That's all I've been able to brainstorm so far.
