Default Pet resistant screen color

Yesterday I went to my local Home Depot which is smaller than most
Home Depot stores and I found some pet resistant window screen
material. It was black in color.

I would rather have a screen that is silver or gray colored. Does
pet resistant screen come in silver or gray? Thank you in advance
for all replies.

Never ever let your brain explode. It's VERY bad for you and
it leaves a terrible mess for someone to clean up.

What exactly constitutes "pet resistant" screen? Will it not turn to
shreds when my cat climbs up to to look in the window on the door to see
is there anyone to let him in? This screening material might come in
handy! How much does it cost?

Sounds as if it's pet resistant simply because the color is black and won't
show dirt as much.


Maybe cats think it stinks.

`Pet-resistant' screening is made of plastic (vinyl?) and is quite
heavy duty--my cat hasn't even tried climbing it: maybe it doesn't feel
as good to scratch? In any case, it works very well (it's still tight
5 or more years since I re-strung the door out to my deck). Because
the screening is thicker, it occludes more light; maybe the black enhances
the perceived contrast of what you see through the screen?

It's not a matter of showing dirt or not. These screens are just made from
tougher materials. They resist damage even if a cat is trying to climb it.
