Safe Blinds for your kitty

Safe Window Blinds for Kids and KittensEveryone knows that corded window blinds aren't safe for young children, but did you know they can also be a hazard for your furry feline friend as well?We've all enjoyed a laugh while our frisky kitties have had a good time batting around the long cords that hang from vertical blinds. Of course, there's nothing dangerous going on as long as you're sitting right there to keep an eye on the situation. The real problems arise if your precious pet gets stuck in the cords while you're away from home or out of earshot. If you want to play it safe, there are many cordless blind options that will allow you to shade your windows without worrying about your cat's safety. You can invest in sliding panels for your larger windows, roller shades for your smaller ones, and even discreet little attachments for your regular blinds that will hold the long, tempting cords out of reach. It just takes a little effort to make sure that your pets are protected.Who needs cords, anyway? What kitty really wants is a long string attached to a stick -- something my dad used to call a "cat fishing pole." Make one of those up from items laying around your house or yard, and you and your cat will be entertained for hours.
