Hi!
I hope this is the right forum, I'm still getting used to this.
So I live in Texas, and it can get ridiculously hot during the day, but my RB has discovered the balcony (my fault, I was re-potting his cat grass and left the door open a crack). Now that he's gotten a taste of fresh air, I've been trying to come up with a solution that allows him to roam the balcony, but will keep him safe from falls. I was thinking of putting up sheer no-see-um grade netting, so both he AND I could enjoy the outdoors in the morning and evenings (when it's cooler), but I'm not sure if that would withstand his claws, if he were determined enough to try and escape.
My apartment complex is one of those prissy types, where all the balconies have to have the same aesthetic. I put in a query about it a week and a half ago, with no response, so if I can find something (or someone suggests something) that could go floor to ceiling and not be too obnoxious looking (I live on the third floor looking inward, so I have a little leeway with visibility), I'm just going to go for it.
My question to y'all is, has anyone here found a breathable, near invisible netting that prevents bug flow through, but lets their kitty enjoy the outdoors? I'm a mosquito magnet, hence why it would need to be a full balcony enclosure.
I imagine this is a lot to ask of y'all, but any advice or suggestions would be ever so helpful!!! Binx would especially love it, because he gets mad at me, now, when I go out there alone
