Cat-secure insect screen foldable terrace door

Climbing things, they get through, they can also open doors, they'll surely figure out quickly how to open them.

So you want fly screens that cats seriously respect as a no-entry sign? - *ROTFL*, keep dreaming!

I know something like that from Australia where the grid is made of metal or similar. I don't know if that is offered like that in Germany.

Petscreen is a fabric that also withstands claws. Unfortunately, it is not available as a pleated blind or roller blind :confused:

I would simply inquire at a specialist company, they know their stuff. We had a two-part swinging door installed. At the top, normal fabric, at the bottom thick, "katzenfestes" (and kinderfestes) fabric.

PS: I just realized that this is written ambiguously. The door is of course single-piece. Only the fabric is two-part.

Then maybe it's not that interesting after all ;)

You can see how different cats are.

I don’t know any cat owner who has given up a normal fly screen because of the cats.

My neighbors have a normal but good sliding panel as a fly screen despite having a cat.

Exactly. We already have normal insect screens and the cats just scratch them to pieces.

The neighbor’s cat doesn’t go near it…

Our tomcats are not allowed outside, so that makes it even more difficult :rolleyes:

… maybe because she doesn’t want to go outside?! So the neighbor’s cat ;)

I’ll spare myself the questions about whether they are allowed outside, have enough scratching posts to let off steam, etc.
But if it is an outdoor cat or multiple cats, you would probably have to set rules for going out and coming in when they are allowed outside (without protection). If that’s not possible, use another door/window for ventilation.
There are just things that don’t go together… we have managed well for 25 years in owner-occupied homes without insect screens on the ground floor.
My parents can’t do without them because they have such a unit.
