Is There Such A Thing As A Cat Proof Blind?

Well I am lucky is that my girls dont mess with the blinds or drapes.. In two of the bedrooms I have real wood shutters.. In the living room & my bed room is thick drapes.. Now all stay open during the day time.. And at night all are asleep..

Wow! You are lucky! I have learned, though, to put the fur posse in the basement at night. That's where most of their beds, toys and their food, water and litterboxes are. So at least at night, they're asleep and have less temptations. And Mom gets her rest. Sometimes.

Thanks for all of the replys.

I already have vertical blinds for my sliding glass door and they get knocked around a lot so I don't think that this would be good for my bedroom windows. Hopefully I'll be able to find a store that sells both the Roman Shades and Faux Wood Blinds so that I can see them in person and see how they're made. I usually wrap the cord or tie it up so the cats can't get to it.

Yup now I said they didnt bother the windows right.. Now at night time they do sometimes keep me awake playing & or laying all over me.. Of course if I move at all they are like

what the heck do I think I am doing..

I just leave them up so that The Found Cats can look out and then they leave them alone.
We are learning to compromise a bit at a time.

When you find some, let me know. Sams's has taught Spunky some bad tricks, such as how to destroy blinds, jumping to high places, opening cabinet doers and investigating, digging up potted plants.

Sams's latest joy is to open and close the cabinet doors in the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Is there such a thing as a blind that's cat proof? What kind of blinds do you have? I was thinking of possibly getting the faux wood blinds but I'm not sure how sturdy they would be. Thanks.

Well I don't know about being 'cat proof', I don't think that actually exists. However what I do is buy really cheap blinds so that when they need cleaning or get destroyed I just replace them.

I get them from Lowes $3.54 per blind! Great bargain!
