Spectulation on how Orange climbed out.. Lesson to be learnt

Was really surprise by the comments some of you left behind... Never thought my blog will be read by others. On behalf of Orange I thank you all for your kind comments. One of the blogger-Veganmeow is right. Its a good idea to share with others how my window was meshed up so that other's can learn from my mistake..

This was how my window was meshed up for the past 1 year. You can see that the top of the grill was not covered. This kinda mesh can be purchase at any pet shop. Only comes in fix roll..


That morning Orange must had climbed over the meshed up window and out from the top of the loop that wasn't meshed up. Since he wasn't able to get a footing on the other side of the ledge. He fell.

After what happened to Orange, Mr Lim and I went out all the way to prevent such a incident from happening. We decided to buy a metal fence. We took the measurement of the whole window grill and bought them at one of the shop in Kelantan lane. It was expensive since we decided to choose a stainless steel one. But at least we don't have to worry about it getting rusty due to rain or moisture.

This is how window is being meshed up now with the stainless steel fence. Its quite simple. Only need to use cable tie to secure it.

Though its expensive but I definitely feel its way better than the previous mesh. Below is a summary of the pros and cons...

Pros

  • Stainless steel, won't get rust
  • Bigger holes provide better ventilation and light (yet little rascals won't be able to squeeze out)
  • Can be cut to size for better fit. Neater than the mesh which only comes in fix roll.

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Heavy

Hope today's blog will be a good resource for further or current cat owners. Anyone with other kinda mesh share with me okie! Will update on Orange's statue again next round...
