    indoor kittens and open windows, suggestions, pls

    Thank you for your ideas and suggestions. I have never heard of a screen being held in place with clips. Mine snap into the outer window frames themselves. My kittens all have their claws (I considered de-clawing them until I found out that the procedure required amputating part of each paw )...

    indoor kittens and open windows, suggestions, pls

    Well, as it is getting warmer, I really would like to open my windows to get some circulation in the house.

    0 to 5 cats in 2 days

    Wow, thank you for being so friendly and supportive. I will try the aluminum foil trick for the kitchen counter. I already gave up keeping them out of my bed. I do have quite a few pictures, but have no idea how to post them. I just figured out how to print them about 2 weeks ago. I will see...

    0 to 5 cats in 2 days

    I have never had a cat before, so this is initiation by fire. I have been doing some research, but any experienced input would be welcome. This is how it happened (bare bones version) A stray cat kept turning up at my door when I was going to work. She was little and sweet and pathetic, and...
