Shaw the ninjaest cat likes stretching while clawing the screens in the window

Yes, there is a scratching post, 3 on the floor scratchers and furniture.
Little Miss Shaw😼, who is KAT has a thing for the kitchen window screens.

So this AM, after I clean the screens, I'm going to place clear packing tape at the damaged screen places. I wiped the area yesterday with vinegar yesterday....and my kitchen smelled like I was making KimChi.

I don't know what type of window screens you have, but you might be able to find one that fits your window, or you might be able to rig up a replacement somehow. I had a wooden screen door, and it was easy to just cut to fit and staple it on. Worked very well. They have it at Home Depot.

The trick is that screens are held in place by a couple metal brackets on one side that can be pushed in to remove the screen. You can buy a screen replacement kit at any hardware store that comes with everything needed to replace the damaged screen. I just searched for a "how to" video, followed the directions and it was easy as pie.

The screen material does come in types that are pet "resistant".
