Suggestions for window blinds that cats can't break?
I use vinyl window blinds along with curtains because I like the night
privacy they afford. (I'm not into big, heavy lined drapes; I prefer airier, lighter curtains) Jasmine has torn up three so far (lol) because she likes to look out the window. (Dmitri always did this too) She pulls the slats apart, then sticks her head through, or sometimes just climbs through it onto the window sill. Eventually the slats break off in pieces. I want to replace these, but not sure what to get. Would aluminum blinds be stronger and not break? I think the slats break off from being bent too many times. Or would they just get bent up and ugly? What about those pull down shades made of canvas or fabric? I don't mind her looking out, and she's very determined to do what she's going to do. I just want something that will: not let anyone peek in at night when the lights are on; not be dangerous to her; last awhile. I was thinking if I got the fabric/canvas kind, she could maneuver her way under the bottom and still look out the window if she wanted. She might learn to do that instead of bending the slats apart and peeking/climbing through. Suggestions or experience with different kinds of blinds, good and bad? Thanks, Juls p.s. Giving her a special window that's open at night doesn't work. She and Jack pretty much like to be in whatever room I'm in. -- Email (remove annoying hyphens) j-u-l-i-AT-e-c-t-DOT-o-r-g |
