    The mystery of the mini blinds

    I know cats and mini blinds don't mix. But that somehow didn't deter me from buying them for my kitchen.... I know, I know... I had a moment of sheer stupidity!

    I've been working on my kitchen for MONTHS, and am finally done. I hung the blinds two days ago. Already they are destroyed.


    But who dunnit????

    this morning, Trixie was on the window sill watching the world go by. She looked funny... little body and HUGE shadowy head.


    She turned around to greet me... awwww.....



    CHOMP.


    Mystery solved.

    So sorry about the blinds, however, the pictures are adorable! Kitties do love blinds.

    All of my windows have blinds.... and all of the blinds have a bent area where the boys pushed their way through at some point. I try to keep them raised a little bit so they can just go underneath the blinds, but sometimes I forget

    I'm sorry, I can't help but giggle.
    We have the faux wood like blinds in our house. But the cat can't get behind them anyway. She used to in the office, but now those are broken anyway (can't raise or lower them and can't open the slats with the cord). They are a bit more expensive, but might be a good investment with kitties in the house.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Those are cute pics of Trixie with the blinds.

    My Molly has a habit of chewing the little plastic things on the ends of the cords to the mini blinds, and chewing the "strings". I drape the cords out of reach as best I can and hope she doesn't chew the strings that run through the slats so much that they break.

    Well my new shades aren't cat proof either. I don't think that they make cat proof blinds or shades. They're holding up better than the previous metal blinds but they have a few bite marks in them and are a bit torn on the bottom. Luckily I only have 2 windows to worry about so next time I just may try the faux wooden blinds.

    The pictures sure are cute though. Good luck with whatever you may find to replace them.
