Mini Blinds in Danger

[Freedom]

I use shades, not blinds. Just what I grew up with, what I am used to. Haven't had a problem here -- knock on wood.

And if this jinxes it, I'll send you the bills for replacement!

Same problem. No answer here. I have the vertical blinds on my sliding door too and the cats love to play in them. My brother has blinds on his windows and Max has gone throught at least one of those. Max will also jingle the blinds so they make a noise and get my brother up in the morning.

I'm sorry I have no ideas for the protection of your blinds, but you reminded me of this wonderful old thread, and I hope you don't mind me posting a link to let you see it.

Attack of the Mini-Blinds

[SharkL8y]

Killearn Kitties,
Thanks for that link. I had so much fun reading that. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone on this. My old RB Tonkinese kittie never really cared to PLAY with the blinds. She just got up in the sill behind them to look outside. My Lynx Point Siamese doesn't really care except to move them out of the way to look outside. My yellow tabby boy...he goes off into some sort of obsessive trance...spray bottle doesn't work, noisemaker doesn't work, meowmie pushing him down doesn't work, it's like he's on springs he just bounces off the floor right back up to the blinds. When he hears me coming he might jump down and dart under the bed to avoid the spray bottle but usually he just keeps chewing/clawing. That boy! His middle name is Jihad and his nickname is Gozer (as in Gozer the Gozerian...The Destructor....from Ghostbusters). There's a reason for those names.

Thanks to everybody for letting me know it's not just me. I've just been lucky that 2 out of 3 cats haven't cared so much.

Hugs!
Dj, Brie and Scutter (a.k.a. Gozer)
