Cats love to climb and explore. If you have curtains in your home when you get a cat, you are just asking for disaster. This would definitely be a good time to consider switching to blinds. If you don’t want to redecorate your house, there are a few ways that you can make things a little safer for your cat. If your cat has a habit of climbing up the curtains, you might look into a rod that will fall when pressure is put on it. A few times of the curtains falling down might just scare your cat out of climbing them in the first place.


Also, you want to make sure that if you have a cord on your curtains that your cat cannot end up choking themselves on it. If the cord is in a loop, you will need to cut it so that your cat doesn’t get stuck and end up hanging himself. Hopefully, you can get your cat out of the habit of climbing your curtains before he ends up ruining them altogether

What Do You Do If Your Cat Bites You?

Biting is not a fun thing when your cat has sharp little teeth. Often cats tend to bite or nip when they are playing around, and it is quite a painful shock when those teeth connect with your skin.

To get your cat to stop this painful behavior, you need to take the right steps. The next time he decides to take a playful nip at whatever skin is handy, you can choose to do one of two things. You can either hiss at him like another cat would do or scream in pain. Either one of these reactions is sure to get your cat’s attention and make him stop.
