Crackle Sack Update

LOL! I'm on the 2nd floor, so it's not so bad. The vertical blinds
are good at keeping prying eyes out but letting the cat see, AND,
the windows are at the opposite end of the room from where I usually
hang out. However, I also don't wander around naked too often. It
scares the cat.


Actually, when I got Oscar, I lived in a second floor apartment. It
*had* blinds ... until she ate all the cords holding them together.
The windows were huge, and I took to changing in the very small
bathroom. Rather annoying.


Ah. Vertical blinds. No cords. Just bars way up on top that I twist
to make the slats turn to open or close. Pull apart to open them
entirely when the door is opened so the Princess can smell the OUT.

Persia still thinks this is the perfect thing to knead on; I hear
"crackle, crackle, crackle" all day long. She charges it; shoves it
around; naps on it. She's completely ignoring the small cat tree
cradle she used to lounge on. She doesn't want to go out in her
kitty walk (okay, so it's been stormy and raining, but still...).

I will say she sometimes leaves it to come snuggle with me when I'm
on the couch watching a movie, or to lounge on me when I'm reading a
book. And she still sleeps with me for a couple of hours. But
mostly, she's so enamored of this crackle sack that she spends more
time on the crackle sack than she does watching the birds on the
patio, even when the windows are open and there are birds chirping
outside.

I think this development is disturbing since I'm not getting nearly
as much 'Persia time' as I used to. She's not even dreaming about
her boyfriend Weeble! She just rolls around on the crackle sack and
meows when I walk by, as if to throw me a bone (so to speak) of her
attention. The crackle sack is *evil*

Yes vertical blinds work quite well here too, espeically in his room
with floor to ceiliing windows. When he wanted to look outside and the
blinds were
drawn, he just walked behind the blinds.

I have those in my bedroom along the sliding glass doors. She just parts
them and sits behind them when she wants to look outside. The horizontal
window blinds I leave raised up about 6 inches so she doesn't have to claw
her way to get to the window to look out. Persia is, thankfully, not a
destructive cat. She can be quite tenacious, but she's not destroyed
anything belonging to the apartment yet. She did knock over my corner plant
stand and smash some potted plants beyond redemption when she saw a cat on
my patio, but that was a long time ago.
