I have always taken Edwina outside -- on a harness -- even though our yard has a six foot high fence....(okay...sometimes I let her off the harness....like right now when there is so much snow she only stays out 60 seconds!) I took Eddie out on a harness too -- against my husband's wishes. For days after Eddie would go NUTS at the door. He has trashed the door seal trying to dig his way out there. Then he calms down and forgets about it.

I do have a screened porch where they can go and feel the breeze of outdoors. And fortunately, my husband hasn't yet seen the damage Eddie has done to that door seal trying to get back in!

Could you put mini-blinds in place of the curtains? I realize they have been known to "attack" but they are harder to pull down!
