How To Secure The Balcony Without A Cat Net?

[Zsebibaboca]

Hello Cat Lovers!


I would need a little bit of help, from cat owners who managed to secure the balcony in any other way then using a cat net =)

I know it is a bit unusual, but where we live, the landlords don’t support us to put a cat net on the balcony. Our little fury friend is very much alive, he is definitely not scared of jumping up to the edge, to the roof, or even walking over in any possible ways to the neighbours.

I would really appreciate if I could get some idea how to secure the balcony without using anything like a net.

(Basically we are not allowed to build anything up on the balcony =()


Thank you: Kriszti

It sounds like a large folding crate might be the only solution - with the opening facing the balcony door. Perhaps something on this order?

or perhaps this:

depending upon the size of the balcony.

Good luck!

I've seen "crates" similar to what 1CatOverTheLine suggested built out of wooden or metal latticework, with the slats close together enough that a cat can't stick its head through, and weighed down with cinder blocks so the cat can't move it away from the doorway. Do you have rolldown shutters that could be lowered to prevent your cat from climbing over such a construction?

How handy are you? This one could be done tastefully, add some plants and the thing could look like a garden spot. This one is in my Pinterest "Catification" folder.
