Thanks guys. I don't have a problem with making my cats miserable & keeping them inside if it means saving their lives, but how can I? They rip through the screens, even screens that are made special to prevent pets from getting through them?
I can not afford much right now. I can't even afford to replace the ones they broke but I have to.

I can't keep the windows shut cause I'm allergic to the cats and my allergies are a lot better with the fresh air. I already have air filters & purifies, one in almost every room.


My neighbor has 2 beagles which he says are hunting dogs. In 2 years I've never seen them leave their little 6'x6' pen, not even to hunt.
They are outside 24/7. He says he brings them inside in carriers when it gets too cold out, I've never seen that either.

He did say numerous times that he likes my cats (before he got the truck) because my cats are always catching mice around our houses. In fact they caught one in his yard this morning.
I think they live in the straw bundles that he keeps & uses for his dog pen. And from his wood piles too.
