How do I protect my screen door from my cat.

Thank you, it was actually a pet store that recommended it. I am lucky that she was not attracted to it and that this is the one thing that scares her.

Cat-Proofing Tips for Your Home​

1. Aluminum Foil / Corks, etc.
Cats may love to play with an aluminum foil ball or cork on a string, but these objects can kill. If lodged in the throat, your cat could strangle; if chewed or partially eaten, they can cause intestinal blockage. Cellophane (including wrappers on cigarette packages) can turn “glassy” in a cat’s stomach and cause a painful death.

You could spend hundreds(or thousands) of $$ on "cat control" products or toys, but the one thing that's most effective and that cats love is:

I'm sorry I have no useful advice but I understand. Picture of my screen below. All my tabby. She jumps to the top of the screen. She's a good natured wild animal. I had a sheer curtain on the slider and nice room darkening curtains on my bedroom window because I was working PMs. All had to come down with these two. They started climbing immediately.

Didn't have a cat problem, but, when the dogs started scratching the screen in my motor home, I just put a piece of lattice on either side of the screen. That still allowed some fresh air to get in.

Wrap your screen door in aluminum foil to inhibit brainwaves from seeping out. Cats have a tendency to follow brainwave emisión in this case through your screen door. Wrapping aluminum foil around your screen door keeps those pesky brainwaves inside and prevents kitty from destroying screen door.

Or you can try spraying screen door with lemon juice?

In New Hampshire we had a squirrel who would come every day. We knew her because her tail was mutilated. We called her Squiggy. When I would see her outside I would call for my cat "Squiggy's here" and my cat would run to the room. Then Squiggy on the outside of the screen and my cat on the inside would both jump on the screen and climb up together at the same pace, nose to nose. I loved to see that more than I loved my screen.

When Squiggy had babies, she brought them all over to meet us. She probably told her squirrellettes "This is the sucker with the peanuts in the shell" which I bought specifically for her.
