How can I make a balcony safe for my cat?
Treat an open balcony as unsafe. Use professionally secured, escape-proof mesh or a purpose-built enclosure, check every gap and climbing route, provide shade and water, and supervise until you are confident the setup is secure.
A good next step
- Flyscreen alone may not withstand a determined cat.
- Remove toxic plants and unstable furniture near edges.
- Recheck fixings after storms or building work.
