Cat Proofing Cast Iron Fireplace

Hello!

I’m hoping to get some advice on cat proofing a Victorian cast iron fireplace that we have in our bedroom.

The fireplace isnt in use and is mainly decorative. The fireplace in the room below that shares the chimney breast, is not in use as well and is blocked with a piece of wood.

The only problem we have is that the cats are very interested in the hood opening and would love to “explore” - resulting in us having a cat stuck in the chimney. I’ve found them a few times half way in and it’s causing a lot of worry!

Currently we have a piece of card lodged in the opening, which is unsightly but does the job, however I’m wondering if there is a mesh or something specifically for this that can be installed instead?

Cheersn
