Paranoia?, ding, ding, ding - Catmama's ears are ringing. Lol, I'm paranoid about a lot of things, and this is one of them. We just moved from one apt. complex where the residents would let their kids look in our windows. I'm not talking casually here, I'm talking noses pressed up to the glass, tapping on the windows. I never knew quite what to say. I was always paranoid the kids would try to get the cats. Silly, maybe...but let's say a lot of the children that lived in that area were far from disciplined (quite the little juvenile delinquents) and their parents were even worse.

In our new place, it's a bit of a better neighborhood, so I'm not as worried. I leave the blinds up enough during the day so the guys can look out the window comfortably and it has crossed my mind that seing as we're not hopme from about 11-6 on weekdays, this might be an open invitation for a thief, yikes! Although I doubt it. Can't prevent every tragedy, you know. And I want them to be able to view the nature and birds outside, they do love it so. We shut the blinds at night.
