I had curtains, also, for several months until Cassy decided to see what was holding them up. (Either that or he'd seen an Errol Flynn movie that day?) We've since reattached the curtain rod and puttied up the holes in the wall. Grrr, by the way. Now, when I am feeling energetic, I slide the curtains over the rod so they keep the light out, but are too light themselves to be a cat jungle-gym.
