Welcome to Flat Cats - Window protection for Cats
Cats are inquisitive creatures and we all know that an open window is an open invitation to take a perilous trip out onto the window ledge.
Although they have excellent balance, cats do fall from windows, often suffering terrible injuries as a result.
In the summer cat owners are faced with a dilemma - open the windows and risk a fall or keep the windows closed and suffer the resulting high temperatures.
If, when you have watched the video, you have any questions, just give me a call on 01673 844125 - Dominic Parker.
Also see our new slide show below with explanations of each slide below
Flat Cats offer an unobtrusive way to allow fresh air into your home and keep your cats safe from the dangers of falling from windows.
Indoor cats are kept safe by Flat Cats and you can even leave the Flat Cats on the windows when they are closed, the mesh is flexible and very strong (it is made from pvc coated fibreglass)
In this example the Flat Cat has White Pads (Black also available) and you can see how the large pads attach to the window frame with the corresponding pad being already machined into the Flat Cat. Heavey duty hook and loop fastening is used for a very strong hold.
Again white fixings.. note the length of the fixings which can be trimmed if you want smaller fixings or have narrow frames.
White fixings again (Black available if required) note the large fixings offering great levels of security
You can see straight through the Flat Cat from inside the house. All the mesh is grey, we were asked about white but it is not as "see through" and is obvious when the house is viewed from outside, so all mesh is grey. Very hard to notice it looking out and pretty much invisible from the outside
Can you spot the Flat Cats from the outside?
A typical standard Flat Cat. Note the number of fixings which is typical and larger Flat Cats will have an increased number proportionate to the size.
Black Fixings are available (both on the Flat Cat and for the window)
Even with handles that extend into the room the Flat Cat is flexible enough to still leave in place and close the window. Note at the bottom of the picture the Flat Cat simple stretches over the handle.
Flat Cat with white fixings in place covering two opening windows at the same time
You can use one Flat Cat to cover two opening windows so meaning that you can purchase one rather than two Flat Cats
Flat Cats are delivered with three spare Fixings for each Flat Cat. Extra fixings can be purchased online (Flat Cats Essentials)
A Packaged Flat Cat ready to go. If you have any questions at all call me, Dominic Parker on 01673 844125, i'm always happy to chat and advise on the most economical way for you to use Flat Cats. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Customer Comments: Updated 5th May 2012
we received and installed the cat screens a few weeks ago and we are very pleased with it. Your suggestion for the large custom screen works really well. Many thanks for the excellent service.
BP. London
Thank you. Flat cats received and installed with no problems :).
SO. Burnham on Crouch
Thank you for the Flat Cats, it is so great to open the windows and feel the breeze without having to close them within minutes, just in case. Our cats were a little confused and sat on the window sills looking at me for an explanation, I did of course give them a full and thorough explanation as to why it looked like they could get out, but actually couldn't, I am sure they understood!!
I will be making another order in a few weeks for my mother, she is very impressed
CF. Romford
It's a relief to find a product that is useful and easy to order!
SO, Burnham on Sea
Just in less than 10 min put up both cat flats. A great invention on your part.
My partner and I are originally from NY and have been here now 11 years. One thing that has driven us crazy is having no screens. Granted England does not have th eproblems we had when we lived in Florida. But every summer on a nice day a circle of flys are in the room.
While we bought these for our kittens we are getting in a few weeks you really should also do more mention of how it keeps the bugs out.
Thank you again and thanks also that you send extra adhesives that we can use in two other rooms if need be.
Will keep you in mind and pass on your site to friend of ours who would enjoy opening a window in the summer :)
JO, London

Just a quick email to say thank you very much for our flat cats. I brought them for my indoor kitten (please see the picture attached of my kitten enjoying the fresh air from her new flat cats) who has asthma so its not recommended that she goes outside. |
Rec'd the screen promptly and it is just fab!! So totally what I was after - a really simple idea but just brilliant!!! I had a few people round at the weekend, and since we have had such lovely weather - ideal opportunity to have windows wide open! Everyone thought it was a totally fab idea, and product (especially because you cant really see it when the sun is shining - it just looks like the window is open!!) and are even thinking about getting some done for next year to keep flies out of their houses! It was just so what they wanted - from a 'flies out' perspective rather than a 'cats in' perspective which is where I was coming from
AD - Wymondham
I asked Brian to email you and let you know that flat cats arrived safely on Tuesday, and are all up and working well. Thank you so much we are so pleased with them, especially me, cause I can now have my fresh air. Mr Smudge not so pleased, because he can smell fresh air, but can’t get out. He has tried, but has not been successful at it. J (chuckle) (heeee heeee). One of the residents asked us where we got them as she was really interested because they would keep all the nunus out (insects) and mosquitoes. Once again a very big thank and very much appreciated for all your help.
LW - Camberley
Don’t know if you remember me, I ordered a flat cat after one of my cats was killed on the road in May having decided to keep my other 5 in at night. I just wanted to say how really pleased I am with the flat cat. At first one of the cats tried to claw at it to get out but I can honestly say it was only once or twice and probably more due to the fact that she was demonstrating her disapproval of not being allowed out at night anymore. They do come up and sit next to it when I have the window open but that is merely enjoying the fresh air. I will be putting in another order for 2 more next year when the weather warms up again and I want to keep the bedroom windows open at night for fresh air. I have referred you to a friend today so hopefully you should receive an order from her soon
KB - New Milton
I would just like to say thank you for my flat cats, my cat fell out of our 1st floor flat, luckily he was ok apart from a broken
tooth, I immediately went on line, found you company and ordered some screens. The arrived within 2 days, and I now have a cool flat and safe cats.
Thank you so much for the peace of mind I now have, and thank you from my cats.
LR - London
I recieved my flat cat screen last week and it has literally brought a breath of fresh air to our apartment.What a difference it makes being able to open the window fully without worrying that my 2 cats are in any danger of jumping out the window. The screen is fantastic and I will be recommending it to everyone i know

Dominic, you are a genius, I only wish I'd found you years ago. At last I have cool clean air circulating my bungalow, and my 2 best friends Tiggy and Peep (she's shy) are asleep on the windowsills loving the breeze, and I'm happy in the knowledge that they are safe and secure. Thanks a million, if you have any queries from people in my area, send them round !! Thanks also for the lightning speed of manufacture and delivery, I was very impressed. |
Hi Dominic,
Just wanted to say I got the window guards through they are brilliant thank you so much! Given me much peace of mind.
Thank you again,
KB - London
Just to say that I have received my flat cats and I am very pleased with them. I have fresh air without fear of killing my cats! Wish I had found you earlier.
VS - Redbourn
Just wanted to say 'thank you' for getting the blinds to us so quickly. They arrived on Friday and fitted perfectly - your advice about using two smaller blinds rather than a single large one was very helpful and a repeat order will undoubtedly follow in the next couple of weeks !
TB - Sandhurst
Thankyou for your help regarding my flat cat purchase.
After speaking on the phone you advised a standard flat cat for me rather than a custom one, saving my pennies!
Now my boyfriend is happy as he can sleep with the bedroom window open, but the cats aren't as they cant sneak out in the night. If the window was even slightly open they would head butt it until they could escape - the problem is, they can get in the garden, but cant get back up to the window! Thanks again for a fab product
EC - Morpeth
Just found your website. Looks great. Our baby cat (15 months old and born with no eyes therefore no sight) fell out the window for the second time yesterday. He broke his back right leg in 4-5 places. He had internal bleeding. We thought he’d learnt his lesson after the 1st time . . . and we were wrong . . . or he just slipped . . . anyway, now I’m really kicking myself that I didn’t search the net before to find your site. I had in mind something like you’re describing exactly and was thinking along the lines of the kind of door guards that you get in places like the US to leave doors open and let air in, but at the same time keep bugs out . . . and then your website pretty much matched my plan in my head. Genius.
I shall carry out measurements tomorrow with my wife and we’ll get back to you pronto – not letting him try out any more of his 9 lives . . . Bless him. The cost of leaving this too late is looking to be around the £1k mark (we’re not insured) . . . You might want to use our story as a testimony on your website in the future, along with some pix from us too.
MH - Bournemouth
I have already purchased one flatcat and it was a life saver. i now have an un-stuffy apartment and a safe kitty! i am now putting them on windows through out my home. thank you!
EJS - Dublin
Just to let you know that my flat cats arrived! They are brilliant, I have only put one up and had to rush back to work, so I will go and open the window for her this afternoon, she is going to love it :) It's much stronger than I thought it would be, there is no way she is going to get through that, no matter what! I think you should send out afew small pamphlets with your orders, so that people (like me) who live in flats can put them into the mailboxes of the other tenants who have cats. I would love to tell them about it, but I don't really know them, and I never see them, I just hear the cats in the evenings. So popping a pamphlet into the mailbox would be the best way :) Thanks for getting them to me so quickly, I'll be putting the largest one up this evening, so lets see what she thinks of all this fresh Summer air...
:)
CJ - Liverpool
Just wanted to drop a line a say thank you for the flat cats. They fit perfectly, look good and are doing fantastic job so we are all enjoying the sunshine in the knowledge that Austin isn't going to endanger himself with an open window and the added bonus that no horrid bugs can get IN - is absolutely wonderful.
I've told a friend at work who has been on your website too so will continue to spread the word about Flat Cats.
Many thanks
AL - Barnet
Just wanted to say many thanks for the screen. Excellent service. I can now have some fresh air with out the fear of my cat escaping
MK - Reading
My Flat Cat custom made order arrived today and I am really pleased with it – such a simple but great idea, now I can have my patio door open without worrying about the cats escaping - that is of course if it ever stops raining!
HW - Hoddesdon
Many apologies for the delay in reporting that our order of Flat Cats arrived very promptly and has proved to be invaluable in this warmer weather. Our new little rescue cat 'Daisy' has fully investigated the new arrangement and it seems to meet with her approval ! The welcome addition of a fly free house is great. Have a happy summer - with thanks
CL - Newcastle Upon Tyne
Flat-cat all up in the sunshine, thank you again. A friend saw it and very well may be ordering some also!

Just wanted to say that I have received my flat cats (really quickly), just in the nick of time before we melted, how hot is has been. I had them up in a jiffy, and Molly and Poppy (my house cats) were immediately at the window sniffing the fresh air, chattering to the birds and generally enjoying themselves. They have been imovable from the windowsills all evening. Although they have both being house cats from birth, with a previous owner, and I desperately want to keep them safe - you can probably see from the photos, that we live on a dual carriageway - I do sometimes feel guilty that they don't get any fresh air. So, if you can invent a way to cat proof a garden........... Anyway - looking forward to the rest of the summer, no matter how brief, with some fresh air blowing through the place. Thank you |
I am writing to say a big 'Thank You' for your help and advice. The three screens are (pardon the pun) Purrfect! They only took minutes to install and fit so well. I now have the confidence to allow the cats free roaming in the house. My daughter is especially pleased as they also keep out insects, she would have had to keep her windows closed at night in the past.
I would also like to thank you for the speed of dispatch considering I ordered made to measure sizes. I am happy to recommend your product to any pet owner or anyone requiring top quality insect screens. It was a pleasure to purchase goods of top quality materials and service.

Hi Dominic, Just thought I would show you how much our kitten loves your screen!! This was the second day we put it up. This is Steve, Gemma's cat :) |
Thank you so much for making and sending my Flat Cats so quickly. They're now in place and are absolutely BRILLIANT. Ralphie looks a little peeved at not being able to try and take death-leaps anymore, but she's getting used to them and I'm absolutely delighted to have some fresh air in the flat without needing to worry that she might go splat. I'm so glad I found you!
FBH - London
Would just like to say a big thank you for all your help with this. It fitted perfectly
DJ - Redhill

AF - Stratford Upon Avon
Dear Dominic. The package has arrived safely.
The fixing was as easy and even faster than you have mentioned on the website.
The screens look really nice and keep my cat from falling out of the open windows.
And also I'd like to indicate their unexpected benefit: FLAT CATS PREVENT SPIDERS FROM COMING INSIDE ! Thank you so much for your effort and lovely service
AS London
Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that the screens are up and working like a charm! Even at 5.5 kilos he can lean against them safely...thank so much!
AD London
I Just wanted to say thank you so much because they work great - and I have the worst non standard windows in the world (french strange size with inward pulling and shutters on the outside, and no sills) nightmare :D Anyways my two foster cats and I thank you and will order a some more when we move to a place with other bizzare windows - thanks again you should advertise more because i never heard of this until I went on some english forum (mind you can't even get mosquito grids in paris so this is brilliant!)
SO Paris France
I just want to thank you for your excellent service in dealing with this matter, it is very rare these days.I would certainly recommend your company and your product
JR Ferring
I am delighted to tell that the Flat Cat order arrived safely this lunch-time, and the sizing is spot-on ; I have yet to actually install them, as I have to make sure the chief “would-be escapee” is out of reach! Thank you again,
PR Bishop's Sutton
Dominic,
I just wanted to say thank you - I am in my flat with the windows wide open and the cats love it! I will be ordering more for a friend soon.

Thank you, my order arrived couple of days ago and we managed to fit them over the weekend. It was all very easy and straightforward. Fantastic product, so simple but so effective. Will make such a difference to the safety and wellbeing of our house cat. Would definitely order these from you again and will be recommending to others. Also, great service and great packaging

Many thanks for the flat cats, delivered today. Tabitha and Cleo have given it a good investigation and seem happy to sniff the air and leave it alone - bliss.
Perhaps now they will see the cat flap as the only exit - many thanks DC Wells, Somerset |
I just wanted to contact you to say how brilliant Flat Cats is! I recieved my custom order much faster than anticipated and attached it to the window this weekend. It is so nice to finally be able to open the window and let fresh air into my flat. My little Ragdoll has literally spent his weekend sat on the windowsill taking in the fresh air and listening to all the new sounds going on outside - by Saturday night he was exhausted! I am definately going to place another order for my other windows. Its a simple but brilliant solution to a very common problem for cat owners everywhere and I have already been recommending you to friends.
DS Bristol
Just dropping you a line to say the screens are perfect for the windows and they have the added bonus of keeping the flies out! I've recommended them to a few people and sent your web site address to the cat rescue where I got my cat so maybe others can give them a try.
KP Lewisham
...they are perfect!!!!
Im so pleased with them. They are very easy to fit and they seem to be quite strong too.
So a very very happy customer!! I will probably purchase more for other rooms.
I will let the members on Pet Forums know how fantastic they are and the service I received.
ZS Chatteris
Just wanted to say that we are very pleased with our Flat Cats. They were easy to fit and have put our minds at rest with our 2 new energetic, adopted cats. Many thanks!
MM Liversedge
I received my custom Flat Cats today and wanted to just let you know I think they are brilliant and have been really impressed with the service from the company.
AG Cirencester
My Flat Cats arrived this morning and I offer my grateful thanks for the swift processing of my order. I am pleased to advise that all 3 Flat Cats have now been very easily secured in place, each one taking only a couple of minutes to install. In addition, I am particularly impressed by the quality of the Flat Cats; they are a brilliant but simple concept that certainly solves the problem they were intended for. With the lovely warm weather now, it is so good to be able to open the windows upstairs knowing that my 2 cats are safe. My congratulations to you and the Flat Cats team for such an excellent product, which I will certainly recommend to anyone else who might need them

is so good to finally get some air through the flat!

Flat Cats - what a great invention! Barbara - Southsea |
Many, many thanks for the Flat Cats...they arrived this morning and I am delighted with them! So easy to put up and at last I can just fling my windows wide open without the fear of my cat, Lucy, falling out. I think that your company is excellent; extremely accommodating and professional and great customer service. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends!
I've attached a photograph of Lucy enjoying the fresh air (and birds!) from the window
CPR Bromley
Hope you are well. Just wanted to send you a quick email to express my satisfaction in the flat cats that we ordered from yourselves! We installed them in the flat on Saturday morning; each one literally took 2 minutes to do. My partner and I were very impressed with the build quality of the product, and the measurements were also spot on. The kitten doesn’t seem bothered about trying to climb the mesh and loves sitting behind it looking out of the window in the breeze.
SW Beccles
Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the use of my specially sized flat cat near a year on. I love watching my cat Jamie as she sniffs the air and sits in the sun, and of course I love the fresh air flowing in my flat too!
A Brighton
At long last i can relax in my flat while it airs. Such a simple solution to keeping my loved ones safe. Please feel free to pass on my mobile if someone needs to call me for a reference. I myself have been passing your website onto other people. I hope you do well out of this business.

KM - Hornchurch
"I received my order from you three days ago and installed them straight away. My cat, Simba, initially couldn't understand what had changed and tried to jump out the window, I have to tell you that I laughed quite a bit when she bounced off the netting.
I must congratulate you on a great product. My girlfriend and I can finally have our windows open.
You have opened Pandora's box for us. Because your product is so good we will be returning to you within the next two months for two more Flat Cats to cover our remaining windows. I have some other commitments to take care of first, but rest assured we WILL be back.
Thank you for solving a huge problem for us. Keep up the good work ! "
