What Are The Top Cat-Proof Window Treatments In Boston?

March 04, 2022

Not many window coverings can endure a frisky, impish cat. Cats climb and pull down drapes, gnaw on or bend, and claw at window shades. What’s a cat parent to do?

If you feel you’re out of options for cat-proof window treatments in Boston, try plantation shutters. Their hardwearing materials and construction resist damage by even the wildest felines. Here are all the reasons why interior shutters are the perfect window treatments for cats in Boston.

Your Kitty Can’t Bring Down Hard Plantation Shutters

Every cat loves to claw and bite things. Despite the number of scratching posts you offer them, your cat will still attack objects around the house. If that sounds like your furball, you need cat-proof window treatments in your Boston house. Both premium hardwood shutters and faux-wood shutters are hard and long-lasting. Your cat can’t bend or tear a louvered shutter. And if your especially destructive cat does leave marks on a shutter louver, just have that piece fixed rather than buying a completely new window treatment.

Interior Shutters Don’t Dangle, Tangle, Or Sway

If you live with cats, you know how they claw at things that hang down and sway, such as your blinds and fabric window shades. Even better if they have a pull string to bite and tug on. Then there are floor-length curtains to scale and hide in. Unfortunately, your kitty’s fun can ruin flimsy window coverings.

To keep your cat from turning your window treatments into its personal playground, use interior shutters. Nothing on them dangles or moves when batted at. They just don’t entice cats how fabric window treatments and blinds do. Chances are, your cat will just ignore them and return to its own toys. Their sophisticated simplicity makes shutters easy for you to use and incorporate into your decor too.

Interior Shutters Let Your Cat Look Out The Window

Interior shutters might not seem entertaining for curious, lively cats, but your kitty will enjoy peeking outside through the shutter louvers. Open the louvers, and Whiskers can observe the wildlife and cars during the day while you have some privacy. If she likes to sunbathe, adjust the louvers to direct light at the ground and keep it out of your face. Or you can open a single shutter panel to let her stretch out on the window sill for a clear view.

Louvered Shutters Are Easy To Clean

Owning a cat means lots of hair all over. Pet hair can be difficult to get off of fabric window treatments. You’ll have an easier time cleaning your Boston cat-friendly window treatments like interior shutters. Their smooth, hard finish only needs to be brushed off with a duster to remove cat hair and dander. And both premium hardwood shutters and faux-wood Polywood® shutters are moisture-resistant, so you won’t ruin the finish if you use a wet cloth to clean off more stubborn muddy paw prints.
