Ideas for keeping cat from pushing the screen out of patio door?

Every single day I have to fix the screen in the patio door at the very bottom because one of my cats keep pressing their nose against it, and it pops out. lol

The hole is big enough for them to get out, but they run away from it…they don’t like the outdoors…just the fresh air. So, my concern isn’t that they’ll get out, but that they’re letting the BUGS in!

Any ideas for keeping them from pressing their faces into the screen?

      My contractor just invented catproof railing topper for me but cant think of anything equally inventive in this situation all that comes to mind is screen doors.

      Spray it with pepper spray, the screen not the cat!!

      Spray it with bitter apple spray (used as a deterant for animals to stop chewing…should help). Also, have a squirt gun handy…when you see them doing it…spray them. Don’t let them see it was you though…it will make them thing that it’s coming from somewhere else, and they wont know when it’ll come.
