Cat Forum - View Single Post - Safety Net For Cats In Condo

I received many questions again about this. So let me post the answers here rather than repeat them in PM or e-mail..

1) Where to buy?
In any hardware stores. But please do not say “I am looking for Cat’s safety net” but ask them for “plastic fencing”. It comes with various colors but usually green and black. The fence has many hole sizes, ranging from ½ inch to 3 inches. The bigger the better it is, because none of our cats can pass through 2 or 3 inches hole. With 2 or 3 inches hole, the net will always clean because the dust or cat’s fur can pass through easily and easy for us to wipe clean too.

2) How to tie them to the grill.
Usually people would buy this kind of fence for their orchids / flowers or to make their gardens neat while in the same time ensure the safeties of their kids or pets. The fence is not aluminum or steel; it is not sharp or can get rusty. So, to tie this type of fencing, the hardware stores also selling “plastic tie”, it is just that, the tie is a tiny wire covered by plastic. You can easily tie them to your grill by roll it to the grill bar. Since the tie is covered by a soft plastic, it would not hurt your cats’ eyes or bodies if they touched it. The tie comes in various colors just like the fence. If your grill color is black, make sure to buy black plastic fence and plastic wire tie.

If you tied them properly, it is hard for people to notice it unless if they come closer or really focus on it. With the net, I can sleep in peace even though I didn’t close the window and the glass sliding door.
