Poor Pickles. Cats do have a way of getting into things that somehow we overlook I have vertical blinds in this house, but my furkids sleep on tables next to the windows, in order to sun themselves. But it is understandable about Pickles getting himself caught in a venusian blind cord or curtain strings. That would be too scary for a cat. I hope that all the scratches and cuts will heal soon and that there is no infection from them. Has Pickeles come out from hiding yet? Keep us posted on his emotional recovery.
