How to secure bottom of screen door to prevent cat sliding under?

Added a screen door inside to separate two cats (mine and roommate’s) who have been fighting. Roomate’s cat (cat #1) is the aggressor and tried to crawl under the screen. This kinda negates the purpose if she gets out. How should I secure it?

Note: I rent in an apartment and cannot make permanent changes. The screen is velcro-ed to the wall via sticky velcro. The floor is carpet.

Looking for Advice on Making Cat Shelves for Large Cats

So I have a large boi, generally sits between 14-15lbs & takes up my entire torso. His name is Oliver Grey or Oliver-baballiver-fe-fi-fofallivr.

Our pantry has a dropped ceiling (pic included, ~8' wall height), and I am trying to figure out how to make cat shelves that will enable Oli to get up there.

I like the idea of doing French cleats for the shelving, that way I can rearrange the shelving and make a new route for him w/o putting new holes in the wall but... I mean its a 14.8 lb cat jumping down on it and I'm worried he'll be too heavy or that the cleat will slip if he lands on the outer edge of the shelf.

I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for how to build cat shelves for heavier cats beyond making sure everything is attached to the studs. I should also mention that this is a manufactured home.

I'm kicking myself for not doing this sooner

Fostering 3 kittens means I have 6 total. I had an ordering frenzy and these came! I am so happy to see these nerds living the good life. Two more pieces have been installed in the main room.
