    Miniblind destruction - caught in action

    My mini blinds have looked like this for some time now


    I usually find a cat looking out like this -- Trixie bit two new slats off this morning


    Pretty ingenious design for looking outside.

    Mikey noticed the bigger opening and walked through the peep hole


    and he looked so proud of himself on the other side of the blinds


    Trixie decided to attack Mikey (darn no flash! sorry its blurry)


    I quickly turned on the flash.


    Yup, those blinds are officially history now.

    LOL, I love the peep hole they made for themselves!
    So glad you got the flash on. Too cute! Sorry about the blinds though.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh, what funny pictures! Thank you. They certainly did a fine job of adapting those blinds to your household requirements.

    And you can see clearly from the pictures just WHAT HARD WORK it is being a cat!

    What fun they had! They must think that you put up the blinds for them just for the purpose to play. Sorry they are ruined, but you cats are not bored.

    Hubby came downstairs later and asked, "what happened to the blinds?!"

    I told him Trixie and Mikey had a lot of fun destroying them. They're still up... they show we have attack cats on the premesis!

    I suppose Trixie was just telling me its time to get new blinds. Maybe I'll get new ones (they're a whole $2 at Walmart). If I ever remember to measure the window and keep the dimensions in my head. Oh well, maybe attack cat mini blinds will become the cool rage this season - ummmm, year.

    Oh lets face it, the new blinds would look like this pair in a matter of hours. I design around cats and their entertainment!

    Oh, mercy, did my Chip wear off on your sweet babies?

    My blinds have looked like that for quite a while. The one over the kitchen sink has end pieces missing just like the first picture.

    Every set of blinds in my house looks like that... *sigh*
    It's just an unfortunate kitty side effect. But I love my kitties way more than I love my blinds.

    Great pics! Made me laugh. I have to share this with my brother. He has a blind-loving cat as well.

    It looks like such a fun game for them.

    I guess they wanted to see outside. I stopped using blinds years ago and put up curtains. However, in your case the cats would probably shred curtains. Good Luck!

    Hehe these pictures made me laugh! Especially the ones with the peep hole, how cute.

    When I was younger we had a kitten and she would tear up the blinds and climb up the curtains. My dad would always buy new curtains and blinds, but they would just have the same fate, scratched, broken and ripped! I guess cats just find this fun and entertaining!

    RIP Sally

    It sure looks like they had a lot of fun. This is why I now have shades instead of blinds.

    I like the pretty ingenious design in the second picture -- and the one of Mikey peeking out from behind the blind! Awwww!

    Oh what fun they had! That peep hole was a wonder, lol.

    This house had blinds when I bought it. They were replaced with shades before we moved in (I had 4 cats back then). And NO curtains, just valances.
