These may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scratches and tears on fabric or slats<\/li>\n<li>Bent or misshapen blinds from climbing or playing<\/li>\n<li>Cords that can tangle around cats, posing a safety risk<\/li>\n<li>Shredded or frayed edges from persistent scratching<\/li>\n<li>Stains or odors from cat urine or spray marking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bless those curious critters. There are more challenges to keeping your blinds and cats apart then you might expect! Fortunately, there are blinds that are built with durable materials and features that discourage cats from damaging them.

Faux wood and vinyl win on both counts, since the hard, slick slats give nothing to hook into and wipe clean of fur in seconds. Aluminum minis sit at the other end, because a determined cat bends the thin slats into an origami mess that never straightens out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabric behaves differently. A roller shade has no slats to climb and most cats simply duck underneath it, though a stretching cat can leave pinholes in a lightweight fabric, so choose a tougher weave. Vertical treatments handle cats surprisingly well, because a cat pushes between the vanes and they swing right back into place. Better still, a damaged vane replaces individually instead of forcing a whole new blind. Shutters are the most cat-resistant of all, with no fabric, no cords, and nothing loose to bat at. Compare<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/vertical-blinds\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vertical blinds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/shutters\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shutters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if your cat is especially determined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One material to skip: woven wood and bamboo. The texture reads like a hanging scratching post to most cats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How do you give a cat a window without sacrificing the blinds?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most window damage is a cat trying to reach the view, so giving them a legitimate way to see out solves the problem at its root. Designate one window as the cat&#8217;s window and leave it bare or fit it with a treatment you can raise fully from the bottom, then cover the rest of the house normally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A top-down\/bottom-up shade is the elegant version of this trick. Lower the top for light and a view up high, keep the bottom closed for privacy, and the cat gets a sunbeam without touching the fabric. Adding a perch or a sill cushion at that window makes it the preferred spot. Our<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/top-down-bottom-up\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top-down\/bottom-up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> options work well for this, and mounting shades inside the frame stops a cat squeezing behind the fabric to get at the glass.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Keep Cats Out Of Blinds<\/h2>\n<p>Even with cat proof blinds, some felines may still be tempted to play with or scratch at your window coverings. Here\u2019s are a few ideas that may prevent your cats from tampering with your new blinds to protect your investment.<\/p>\n<h3>Offer alternative scratching surfaces<\/h3>\n<p>Cats have a natural instinct to scratch, so providing them with dedicated scratching posts or pads can help redirect their claws away from your blinds. Try placing scratching posts near your windows to give the cat a convenient alternative. Something that\u2019s not your blinds, like sisal rope or corrugated cardboard.<\/p>\n<h3>Use double-sided tape on blind slats<\/h3>\n<p>Sneak some double-sided tape along the edges of your blind slats to deter their curiosity. Cats hate a sticky surface. They\u2019ll soon learn to steer clear of the taped areas. Obviously, we suggest for tape that won&#8217;t harm your cats or the surface of your blinds. Replace when necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Install window perches or shelves<\/h3>\n<p>Giving your cat a designated spot to perch and watch the world go by can help keep them away from your blinds. They love to get high. Install a window perch or shelf near the window, making sure it&#8217;s sturdy and secure. This will provide your cat with a comfortable vantage point and reduce interest in other, blinds-related things.<\/p>\n<h3>Use pet-safe deterrent sprays<\/h3>\n<p>Find a pet-safe deterrent spray. These sprays have smells that are often unappealing to pets, like citrus or menthol. Always follow the product instructions and test the spray on a small, inconspicuous area of your blinds first to ensure it doesn&#8217;t cause any damage.<\/p>\n<h3>Trim your cat&#8217;s claws regularly<\/h3>\n<p>Keeping your cat&#8217;s claws trimmed can help minimize damage to your blinds and other household items. Regular trimming also helps prevent painful snags or tears that can occur when a cat&#8217;s claws become too long. We recommend consulting a veterinarian or professional groomer first.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24554 lazyload\" title=\"A cat enjoying the view through a pair of horizontal blind slats.

Vertical treatments also do well because vanes swing back into place and replace individually.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Are vertical blinds good for cats?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788781060591-091fb967-e99f&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, better than most people expect. A cat pushes between the vanes rather than climbing them, and the vanes fall back into position. Individual vanes can be replaced if one gets damaged.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What window coverings should cat owners avoid?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788781059943-edce6ea6-dc52&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skip lightweight aluminum minis, which bend permanently, and woven wood or bamboo, which most cats treat as a scratching surface. Long corded lifts and puddled fabric are worth avoiding too.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Are cordless blinds necessary if you have cats?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788781058098-ee751687-16cd&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cordless or motorized is the safest choice, since a dangling cord is both a toy and a tangle risk for a cat. Cord-free lifts also remove the part cats damage most.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What blinds are best for cats that scratch?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788860107650-4f51981e-1c0f&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faux wood blinds and roller shades hold up best against cat scratching. Faux wood resists claw marks better than fabric, and roller shades have a flat surface with fewer edges for cats to grip and claw.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Are cordless blinds actually safer for cats, not just kids?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788860140378-b92a8bf2-7e8c&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. Dangling cords are a strangulation and chewing hazard for cats and other pets, not just children, which is part of why cordless and motorized options are the standard recommendation.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Can cats damage roman shades or fabric shades?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788860175711-cd08c113-f9c9&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabric-based window treatments like roman shades are more vulnerable to claw snags than faux wood blinds or roller shades, so households with active climbers or scratchers may want a harder-surface product for cat-accessible windows.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Do motorized blinds help if my cat likes to play with the blinds?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1788860205957-f61966f5-ed76&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.
