Most of the screens in the upstairs windows have some sort of hole in them this summer.
We've never caught either of the kids really poking at the screens - no pushing fingers through, no bashing at them, no flinging toys. Rosey does some banging on them when she wants someone's attention outside (and is mystified that our neighbor doesn't respond) but it wasn't us, so it must be the kids, right?
I wasn't too bothered. Replacing screens is not terribly difficult or time-consuming, and actually on The Big List Of Projects To Do (the upstairs screens are probably twenty years old) so we had a few talks to the boy (who denied it) and the girl (who hadn't a clue what we were talking about) and forgot the whole thing.
But it appears we have been blaming the wrong people (??) for the destruction.
Yesterday afternoon, I was outside blowing bubbles with C and R and heard a rrrrrrip! noise.
Now where did that come from? And why is the cat miaowing.....
Oh.
Bad, bad kitty.

Mystery solved. But how are you going to stop him from bashing the new screens?! Put kitty mittens on him?
A kitty muzzle!
The hope is that with new (and stronger) and tighter screens, she won't be able to get her teeth into them this time.
The paws are not the problem.
She's a wicked smart little beastie.
Oh! Clever girl! But now she knows the trick.
Aha! The culprit caught in the act. That's one of those once-in-a-lifetime pictures.
Hee! That picture is priceless.
What a great shot!! How do you manage that? You must have a camera on your person 24/7 to get some of the shots you post.
Spang - Guilty as charged. I luurvvve my digital camera.
