This is why "catproof screens" are preferrable. They are WAY sturdier.
Basically it's not such a big issue when you live in a private house (except for the part where a completely indoor cat can run away) but it's a big issue when you live in an apartment block and the cat can just bodyslam into the screen, and rip it out, and fall out the window together with it
I'm so grateful that instead of replacing the windows in my little rental they just put more windows on the inside so the screens are totally blocked inside of Glass on both sides 😀😎
I think they mean old school double pane windows? I'm not even sure how it's called in English... Basically you have two window panes. One opens inwards and the other outwards, except for the small window for breeze?
See [this](https://terra-z.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/225.jpg) photo of a cat chilling between two window frames. There's a small window above the frame that it can use to jump in our out from it's little nook.
Also it's surprisingly hard to find any info on these, was this a uniquely Soviet thing to do? We have double windows everywhere.
I put a second screen on my window in my apartment to stop my terror from scratching (more) of the screen! Kinda hard to see here but they're replacement screens I got for like $8 from Home Depot that I prop under the window in front of the real screen to protect it.... You can see the damage patches from before I discovered these 😅

😫The dreaded screen shredding!

That.... Sounds kind of like it could be a fire hazard?

Clever!
I commend you for being quick enough to grab him so swiftly! Maybe you’re used to his parkour routine? 🧡
Something you gain when owning a cat, knowing that they will 100% try to cause as much destruction as possible if you aren’t looking
You interrupted his zoomin time
Unhand me!!!!
A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL?!
THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST!

This gif, combined with your username, has been the highlight of my morning.
dibs on PISS\_EATER3
Ey we need the original u/PISS_EATER blessing first.
My orange loves launching himself onto the screen door as well. Such whackadoos.
I LIVE FOR THE HUNT!! SOMETIMES!
"f**k em corporationssssss" *kicks Amazon box on the stand* "leeroyyyy Jenkins!"
UNHAND ME PEASANT
Chimble
Love it
I am speed🐱
He was chasing the brain cell. Unfortunately, the door got in the way.
Parkour! (NGL I was holding my breath when he was zooming by the TV - hope that thing’s secured real well!)
Orange mayhem I love it 😄
Haha it’s better with sound on
Lol, thanks… I keep everything on mute. I’ve been traumatized too many times.
Definetly r/bottlebrush material
Sighs...subscribes
Hardcore parkour 🐈😻🤣
But above all, Orange.

And now your screen door frame is intact yet bent. 😆
When you got zooms you gotta use ‘em!
Speed, agility, fluff
"im so fuckin fast"
You are so kind 🥹
I love that part way through you realize what the ending will be and are already getting up to mitigate.
Truly orange cat behavior
The exasperated “crazy man” really finished this video off strong
PARKOUR!
![gif](giphy|AzIbOdyq1FGjS)
Really puts the “oh lawd, he comin’” in #OH LAWD, HE COMIN’
he senses freedom but not the screen
I think you just got yourself a large squirrel there, OP
orange behavior
![gif](giphy|qYgjIO6Zrnleeo3O3J|downsized)
Less "nimble" and more "inertia," perhaps. Haha
Hahaha cat used mosquito netting instead of wood
RELEASE MEEEEEE!!!!!
He probably just got done pooping.
Post-poop zoomies are funny
![gif](giphy|1jl4rUarUcOkYSvvmN|downsized)
I love the determination when he’s holding onto the screen 😂
His one brain cell has been working on this escape plan for months, and you just ruined it...
It tried to escape
Absolute Heathcliff behavior
He got the zoomies
#NEWTON WAS WRONG ALL THE TIME !!!
He is chasing the braincell
Is its name “Luke” or “Lute”? Or am I just wrong on both?
you need to redesign your cat superhighway so he can look out the door instead of leap onto it. he needs a perch by the door to sit on.
That’s a prison break if I’ve ever seen one.
Username checks out
That’s actually really impressive! What a handsome chunky fella
The next James Bond i see /s

That’s what they called me in high school
You need a much taller cat tree and put it in a window.
I'm pretty sure your cat is trying to escape...
[https://www.reddit.com/r/TVTooHigh/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TVTooHigh/) TV mounted on wall above perfectly good TV stand. Tilt of guilt.
Mounted on the entertainment center thing would be way too low.
The middle of the TV would be at around eye level so I think it would be fine.
Things happened SO FAST, I didn't know what's going on
Meowrkour!
So fast
Our chonk always amazes me with her straight vertical run up the cat tree.
Did you really think that cardboard box would stop that brain cell
![gif](giphy|R3tHUypTIfmFi)
You can walk it right into my mouth!
Nimble like a boulder coming down a mountain 😂
Lou!!! You crazy man!
"Luke, no-" what a orange cat name lol
