I just want something my cat can’t destroy, is that too much to ask?

[-] DrM@feddit.de 18 points 9 months ago

European blinds solve this as well, they are made of plastic and are on the outside of the window, not inside

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Blinds on the outside? Here all blinds are inside the window between the window planes

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Which is complete lunacy, if you ask me.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Why? They are protected from the weather.

I also forgot to mention that I am in Europe.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Tbh I'm just used to always finding them on the outside. But yeah if they're not old-timey style blinds that are basically just doors for your windows I guess having them inside has some advantages.

Huh? They aren't in every European country

At least all countries I've been to have blinds on the outside. Germany and Netherlands have rolling shutters like these: https://www.rollorieper.de/images/rollladen/overview_rollladen_mobile.webp

Southern and Eastern european countries tend to have little doors on the outside like these: https://www.schneider-schoenwalde.de/fileadmin/_processed_/3/8/csm_moosgruene-fensterlaeden_d2513c37b0.webp which are made of wood or plastic

I have never been to poland, scandinavia or the baltics, but all countries I've been to have one way or another to completely block light and don't let cats scratch the curtains

Not romania :p

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

That line of thought is the first step towards making cats more destructive.
