I don't think the Soft Paws will appease your neighbor. He really just wants the cats off the truck --- period.

I think I'd have to replace my screens with hardware cloth and keep the cats inside. Hardware cloth is actually more like fine woven fencing and cats can't tear it.

Unfortunately this is one of the costs of renting.

Have you seen the KittyWalk Deck and Patio enclosures? They are 19" high by 24" wide and 6 feet long. They can be connected together to make them longer. They are item 9B10788 on the DrsFosterSmith.com wewbsite. You might want to look at them.

Good luck!
