If I keep them partially up - which I do so they can look out as soon as I get home - Meka will go over and start looking up at them and then jump!!!!! Look Meowmee!!! I'm hanging on the blinds!!!! She has really bent them up - at least they are old - only they were micro minis and we paid money for them - 12 years ago but that is what you get with cats I guess. I like the vertical idea but I LOVE the wooden shutter blinds! Although expensive when we build our house I think I'll go with those.... Thank you all very much - so nice to know it is not just my cat! I'd take a picture of her hanging on the blinds but they would be all broke if I waited long enough to grab the camera before I got her off - In hindsght it is funny - but boy is my hubby mad!!!!
