🐈 !!!
After months of not going anywhere with my housing company, plus setting aside money painfully, it seems things are getting unstuck. It's not official yet, but I might be able to hire someone to secure my balcony soon-ish ! And that means : adopting a kitten is on the horizon.

I'm going to need your help, Mastodon :
please give me recommendations of professionals who install (no piercing, no gluing) cat nets on windows and balconies in France.

!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!

according to the popular vote of the fb group "chats : jardins et balcons sécurisés", it would seem that the best are "Tiger" !

There's also Climbing Cat, that does sort of the same stuff but delivered to you and that you're supposed to assemble yourself (maybe it's less expensive).

I heard about "mon chat mon amour" but the opinions on it are mitigated. Some are very happy though (and it's like 300€ for 1 window which is not awful - price from 2 years ago)

@leroimiracle : thank you :)
I had all those links (as well as a couple of others like catsafe) but having feedback is really important too. And since I don't have a FB account anymore, this is data I wouldn't have found otherwise.

@leroimiracle : 300€ for a window is a lot ?
I had done a simulation 2 years ago that estimated 600€ for the balcony, which obviously is much bigger than a window.

"(maybe it's less expensive)."
Yeah, the thing is, at this point my building asks that it's done by professionals to guarantee safety (they briefly mentioned insurance but I'm not sure to what extent insurance comes into play here), and because they don't want random sh*t installed by tenants. But I was going to do that anyway -

@leroimiracle : - because there's no way I can balance my fat a** on a crutch while installing sh*t on the 5th floor.

@ladyteruki
300€ is considered no so much but it was a big window. They do degressive prices (i also saw 3 windows for 700€, from the same). It would seem Tiger are not that much more expensive.
Either way they all give quotes before working so you will be able to compare.

Yeah, i threw in Climbing Cat just in case. Tbh I wasn't that happy either while installing my handmade protection on my own window, and we're barely on the third floor 😬

@leroimiracle : thank youuuu ! It's not done yet, but, we're finally getting things moving.

Is it too early to tell you to start keeping an eye open ?

@ladyteruki

well, it's not kitten season anymore, but, we never know

Show threadladyterukiDec 3
@leroimiracle : well I remember you saying that orgs liked to find families for the odd winter kitten ? But yeah, it's not going to happen overnight. And with the winter being what it is, I might not even have a slot for the install before kitten season comes back anyway. u_u

@ladyteruki
yup, we sometimes have winter babies.
but it's now counting in months and not in eons anymore 🌸
Show threadladyterukiDec 3
@leroimiracle : yes, yes it is :) maybe I'll get one of the first kitten season babies or something.
(I just hope the third one doesn't share a birthday with Tom & Trix)
Show threadLeRoiMiracleDec 3
@ladyteruki first bebes tend to be born around march or april, sometimes february when the winter is very warm.
Where I am, we're going for harsh and precocious weather, so I wonder where it's gonna go
Show threadladyteruki
@leroimiracle : in any case once the balcony/window are ready, there'll still be a lot to do so it's not like it's a matter of having the very first baby of the year XD But yeah after ~3 years it'll be about time on an emotional level.

@ladyteruki ^-^ it's going to be great

@leroimiracle : I hope so. My brain keeps coming up with ways it could go wrong. I'm trying to get it to shut up XD

@ladyteruki statistically you have more chances that it will be just great
Show threadladyterukiDec 3
@leroimiracle : that's probably true, but Brain is dumb.

@ladyteruki ah, tell me about that
