Cat-proofing Velux windows?

[Toaster Pilot]

We have two cats, one 11 months old and one 6 months old, both indoor. They seem to have taken to trying to get out of the Velux windows in the upstairs of the house, resulting in both of them recently having falls off the roof (thankfully seem to be fine - idiots!)

Are there any products out there that would let me leave the windows open but have some kind of screen over them to prevent them being a cat escape route or am I stuck with them closed boiling to death in this heat?

It's not very aesthetically pleasing, but I just use garden mesh held to the frame by Duck Tape

Do your Velux windows not have snibs that push into holes around the wood trim to hold them just open a little bit? Ours does, I only realised this recently. Before I realised that I was planning on getting one of those little rubber door stoppers and fixing it to the side of the wood trim such that the window would only come so far open.

Tack a bit of net curtain around the edge to form a 'wall' that air can get through but cats can't? Do it neatly & it might even fold as you shut the windows.

I don't think they do (they're ~20 years old and pretty buggered) but I'll check

Ours has two holes in the left side of the recess trim, the snib is located along the top edge of the swinging pane in our case.

You can get velcro flyscreens from ebay. I bought some for my old house for precisely this purpose but never actually fitted them.

Would these do the trick?
