How can we mosquito-proof our windows on a budget?

How can I help my cat settle in after our move?
My fiance and I have moved to a new apartment with our two cats. While one of our cats seems to have taken to it nicely, quickly finding his “spots” and settling in, the younger of the two, Tony, does not seem to be doing as well.

Has anyone else found something similar after moving their pets?Thanks in advance for your help!

My cat Oliver and I have been negotiating his troublesome eating habits. He often gets so excited about whatever I’ve just fed him that if I don’t sit with him and force him to take digestion breaks every 30 seconds, he just HORFs down food and then HORKs it back up again — which is especially nasty now that I’ve begun feeding my cats organ meats for some meals. Re-barfed ground-up cow livers. MMMM.
