This is our sweet Felix, and of all the cats I've had, he definitely wins the award for most unique. He has many special talents, including doing his fast front feet on smooth surfaces, tearing cardboard boxes into tiny pieces (which Sammy then eats), and carrying ice cubes in his mouth. His biggest "talent" though has to be his chewing. He enjoys any type of stretchy material...hair bands, coat cords, etc., but as you can see, blinds are his favorite. I think this is the 7th set that he has chewed. Some have been our fault as we have not moved all the furniture stepping stools. We've tried squirting him with water and spraying the cords with bitter spray. He simply laughs and keeps chewing. The few blinds that still seem like likely targets stay closed at all times, which seems to deter him. Ned and I are a bit concerned as to what we will cover our windows with when we build, and we certainly can't live in the Tall Oaks neighborhood without window coverings. So, if any readers have suggestions I'd love to hear them, since removing his teeth probably isn't an option. Until then, we'll just keep believing that he's trying to bring a little more light into our lives.
