They are horizontal. Unfortunately I am not fond of vertical blinds!
"Deborah Trujillo" wrote in message ... Are your blinds verticle or horizontal? My cat was doing that and she bent some of the horizontal blinds so I replaced them with verticle (made less noise too). -- Debbie Trujillo Please visit my website at http://mysite.verizon.net/res21yh8/index.html in article , AK at wrote on 3/2/04 3:20 PM: I have a beutiful brown spotted Bengal who is gorgeous and I love him to bits, but he has one habit that is driving me crazy. I have a window that I have put venetian blinds on so I can see my computer screen better on sunny days. Even though the cat always had a window he preferred to look out of he has decided that during the night he wants to sit on the window with the blinds on. This usually happens at between 2am and 5am and the noise he makes trying to get through the blinds wakes up the whole household. I can't leave the blinds open as I don't want to have my computer on display to the outside. Is there anything I can do to deter him from wanting to go anywhere near the blinds? I wonderred if there was a houseplant or something smelly that cats hate that I could use to deter him from coming near. Any thoughts would be gratefull received. Thanks Angela |

Can you mount the blinds farther out from the window frame so the cat can
get behind them without rattling them? Install something between the window and the blinds mounting hardware so they're actually slightly more into the room and not flush up against the window? I'm not sure I'm describing this well. Priscilla |

They are horizontal. Unfortunately I am not fond of vertical
blinds! Me either, though I wish I was due to the kitties. The lady across the street has them and they remind me of prison bars from all the way across the street. We are in the process of switching the foyer and kitchen (yeah Tuck gets on the counters after everyone is in bed, little stinker). Tucker has virtually ruined the foyer ones, because he climbs between the slats of the horizontal blinds. With the horizontal in the living room he just walks between them. |

I've got bamboo blinds in my bedroom. My cat can see through them but you
can't see through from the outside unless your right up close to the window. It works for me anyway! Jeannie "AK" wrote in message ...

I prefer sheers in the formal rooms and my bedroom. Have you seen what cats can do to sheers? Not shredded, but scores of little claw holes and pulls. I wish I liked vertical blinds. Truth be told, I don't like blinds at all. |
