    I'm not sure...

    It would be something like this:




    BTW, it's my feeling that the entire translation of that paragraph is lousy - too much technical stuff.

    Any suggestions to make it better?

    Bottom hung windows

    This is one of the biggest dangers for indoor cats! They may try to crawl through the gap and get stuck. Inner injuries, paralysis and death may be the result. For that reason, a cat should never be left alone in a room with those windows tilted!

    In pet stores, you can buy _fill in requested word here _ that you can put into the gap, they prevent that the cat gets stuck.

    I would just call them "guards."

    Inner injuries,




    Kirsten
    More often called: Internal injuries.


    The last bit might sound easier if it read: They prevent the cat from getting stuck.(or caught)(or injured)

    The word stuck is not a very technical term, but is widely understood.


    The rest sounds very good to me.

    Kirsten - I've searched the web and the universal word seems to be: guard. Hope this helps.

    I go with "window guard". Doesnt these windows have screens?
    I would think that would eliminate the need for a "quard".
    If you open this type of window every living creature big and small bug wise is in your house if there's not a screen.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    "Guard"... I would have thought that's a person only! But I guess it's correct then... LOL

    Rose, thanks a lot for your suggestions, I will edit the text that way.
