Are Roman blinds the kind that are fabric and they're folded like an accordion, so there's no actual space between the "slats"? That's the kind I have in my family room, but I never bother to pull them down anymore. Everytime they were down, my kitty would paw frantically at the sides of them and then squeeze between the blinds and the window, so the edges were all crinkled and they were coated with black cat hair. Not worth it! Kind of a waste of money since they're always retracted.
