Curtains are not much more than trees to climb here! When kittens are running amuck I do away with them and use mini blinds & a valance. I have french doors on my upstairs rooms and used to have pretty lace curtains on them. What a joke! They made wonderful hiking spots for the rascals to the point I gave up. Now I used glass frost from a spray can, and ordered lace contact paper from a mail order company. It's the only thing that works, and they're washable! Jan
