I know that experience! That's why I keep the mini-blinds raised close to a
foot from the bottom of the windows

Well, at least she was behind the mini-blinds to begin with... Maya will
go *through* the blinds to get to the window...

Yep, all my blinds are kept raised about a foot from the bottom. But, look
at the first photo again. That's the top of the bottom half of the window
she's resting her paws on. The bottom half of the window is 26 INCHES HIGH
(66cm)!!! Sammy's head extends a good 8 inches (20.3cm) above that, and if
she extended her paws up over her head that would probably be another 6
inches (15.2cm). That's 40 inches (101.6cm), or 3 1/3 feet that she can
reach just by standing and stretching (did I mention lately just how big
this 8-month-old, 13 pound (~6 kilogram) kitten is???). Add to that a good
jump and she could easily make it to the top of the window, so I would have
to take the blinds completely down in order to save them from her
depredation! ;

Okay, you got me. Yes, she's huge! Persia isn't the type to really clamber
after a squirrel; she just chatters at them with tail lashing. She has, on
several occasions, knocked over the corner plant stand by the window when
trying to get at that neighbors cat on the patio. My houseplant and ceramic
pots population has been greatly decreased, all without harm (thankfully) to
Persia. The blinds seem to have withstood most of the commotion, too.

From all I've read, Persia is a little sweetheart (although rightfully
enraged when an intruder enters her territory ;). Sammy, on the other
hand... can you say "Satan's Little Helper"?? ;

"CatNipped" had some very interesting things
to say about Well, the squirrel survived...:

LOL. Sammy pulled something like this too. If you want to read about it,
go to http://www.possibleplaces.com/sammy.asp and click on "Sammy and the
Stairs" (I'm keeping a record of all Sammy's adventures for the next time I
go crazy and consider adopting another kitten!! ;).

It won't help. You'll see that cute little fuzzy face and those
adorable little eyes will just drain all your willpower. :-)

If the mini blinds aren't open on the window by the pc, Libby will
very gently put her paw up and pull them down far enough to look out.

Does Sammy like to help you in the kitchen, like QC (our Maine Coon)
does? He puts his paws on the counter, looks over the top at what
you're doing and the comments on the activity going on.
