He's driving me crazy!!
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 |

Fabric vertical blinds might be the answer. He would still have the opportunity to look outside and you and your family would be able to sleep through the night. :c) Judy |

From: "AK"
I can't leave the blinds open as I don't want to have my computer on display to the outside. But are you using it at 2 a.m.? If not, why not turn off the computer, turn off all the lights in that room and then open the blinds for the kitty.
