I know my guys could easily scratch through any screen in my windows (no matter what they are made from - metal or plastic). If you want them to be able to sit and look out the window, why not put a table in front of the window or get one of those shelves that attaches to the sill (it is designed for cats to lay in front of the window)? I think it would be safer for the ferrets and still allow them to check out the outdoors! Kim [Posted in FML issue 3459]
