Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Well, the squirrel survived...
but my mini-blinds have bit the big one!! http://www.possibleplaces.com/squirrel/ Sammy strikes again! Hugs, CatNipped > but my mini-blinds have bit the big one!! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > CatNipped I know that experience! That's why I keep the mini-blinds raised close to a foot from the bottom of the windows :) Jill > > but my mini-blinds have bit the big one!! > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Jill 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! ;> Hugs, CatNipped >>> but my mini-blinds have bit the big one!! >>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > and stretching (did I mention lately just how big this 8-month-old, > 13 pound (~6 kilogram) kitten is???). 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. Jill > Okay, you got me.

Sammy, on the other hand... can you say "Satan's Little Helper"?? ;> Hugs, CatNipped > Yep, all my blinds are kept raised about a foot from the bottom. But, look > at the first photo again.

He puts his paws on the counter, looks over the top at what you're doing and the comments on the activity going on. Pam S. > Sammy strikes again! Well, at least she was behind the mini-blinds to begin with... Maya will go *through* the blinds to get to the window...

Count your blessings, Mojo once tried this trick with a bird outside the window and leaped about 7ft of the ground then dug his claws into the fabric blinds and returned to ground zero! The result was a blind with two sets of four strips torn down their length!

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!! ;>). Hugs, CatNipped "CatNipped" <CatNipped@ix.netcom.com> had some very interesting things to say about Re: 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. :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > but my mini-blinds have bit the big one!! > > http://www.possibleplaces.com/squirrel/ > > Sammy strikes again! LOL! And the big innocent eyes at the end! ROFL!
