Need advice for cat proofing stair banister

For background: our cat herniated a disc a few months back and became completely paralyzed in his hind legs. After surgery and a long recovery he has regained the ability to walk but he is still very wobbly. He is also highly susceptible to re-injury. My SO and I are now looking to move into a house but many of them have banisters along the stairs. He is a curious cat and we do not want to risk him falling through the balusters. We are trying to think of ways to prevent this that are renter friendly. We have considered something like a mesh or screen but he is still quite the climber despite his injury. If anybody has any ideas we would appreciate it very much! submitted by /u/MassiveReading9160 [link] [comments]
