Trixie Protective Fencing for Tilting Windows - White

They defiantly work for our maine coon who likes to escape. We just had to make them more secure as she a heavy girl.

Having adopted two very active young adult indoor cats, we were scared that they could escape our get hurt in our upstairs windows. With the hot summer we've had, keeping the windows closed wasn't an option. The fencing has been great. We couldn't use screws on our windows, but the recommended heavy duty double sided foam tape has stuck them up with no problem. They cover all the gaps we were concerned about, and are very reasonably priced.

Bought these after I found my furbaby in agony as she'd got her paw caught in the window, although they don't stop this, they certainly stop both cats from getting out. At the moment I have V shaped doorstop wedges packed into the gap when the windows are open, so neither of them can get their paws wedged in again. ***N.B. note to manufacturer.... can you make anything to stop the cats getting their paws caught in the narrowing part of the opening of the tilting Windows?***

A few years ago I knew of a family that got up in the morning to find their beloved cat had got trapped and died in one of these awful windows so to see this now available on Zooplus website is great news.

As my windows don't open the same as in the product pictures (see my pic of Benji), I use strong velcro to fasten the fencing onto my windows, then simply take off to close them. when fixed in place, they feel very secure so I can leave Benji alone in the room with the window open, and she loves to look out!

Unfortunately, they don’t fit my windows – they’re too long. I also don’t know how they’re supposed to be attached so that they don’t just fall out. Screwing them onto the window isn’t really possible – there was also no mounting material, no instructions, nothing included. Otherwise, very sturdy.

Since I'm not allowed to drill into the frames of my PVC windows, I tried sticking the protective grilles on; so far, only one has stayed in place for about 15 days, while all the others end up falling off after a while, despite trying different types of double-sided adhesive tapes.

I can't use them on double-glazed windows. Money wasted.

The grilles are quite alright, a really good invention if you have cats. What bothers me, though, is that even though the description says you can stick the grille on, it doesn’t actually work, not even with the tape mentioned in the product description. It just doesn’t hold – the grilles gradually fell off, and some couldn’t be stuck on at all because the little metal plates where you’re supposed to put the tape aren’t welded on straight, so you can’t really stick it properly to a flat surface. So even though I didn’t want to drill into the windows, now I have to. Considering all that, I think the price is too high.

Easy to install, they're safe for our tomcat and we can relax knowing that.
