Coming from homes that had screens built in for 25 years I'm still confused as to why there aren't screens in English windows but I will fix that in my house

I think its because we don't have the mosquito problems here that they have across the pond

going to mount the flyscreen on to some simple timber frames and use high end Velcro to attach to the windows

The mosquitos though annoying never really bothered me (they can normally fit through the screen anyway) it's those flys that get on my nerves.

Will see about getting some screen to do it myself.

I was talking to Steve who works with Roz at Securacat about the same thing.  I think they can provide it.

Isnt it supposed to be the more ajar the window (can you ajar a window?  ) the less of a draught....another piece of useless info my grey matter has held on to!

Well after Z's little escapade this week, i must assume that kitties will get out windows that aren't secure!
Have gone round the windows. They don't have official nightlatches but have managed to set them up so that all the pushing in the world won't open them further!
The cataire system is intriguing but too expensive, I want to save as much money as poss for cat-proofing the garden. Then I can have doors open  .
The flyscreen idea might work, how would you attach it to the frame? I have double glazing so drilling into it might compromise the system.

Memphis is an indoor kitty and I've had the windows open all week with no trouble.

Does no one have the type of windows that you can use safety thingy's on....so you can open your window, enough to let air in....not enough to let cat out?

I think come July we'll start ordering these for each window, probably one or two a month.

Really miss having the windows open.

I've got all my windows on the night latches for now (so at least some air is circulating) gonna see about getting some fly screen from fleabay and have a go

Does anybody know how to do do this?
Are there any companies in the UK that make systems, or are there ways that I can do it myself?
I've seen the systems on zooplus, but someones already commented that they're unusable on british windows 
Any thoughts? (my bedrooms are like ovens ATM!  )
