Jokes aside that can be dangerous for the cat it will cut off blood flow if she cant free herself, make sure that doesnt happen when youre not home

Absolutely. It's time to tie up those cords or switch them with the now standard cordless variety.

One of my cats got stuck this way after I left home for work. Thank goodness I forgot something and came back 5 minutes later or else she would have died.

I work at a vet, getting a call from a distraught owner that she came home to her kitten hanging from his neck on the cords to the blinds and isn't breathing will always stay with me.

I have known 2 different friends who have lost cats in that way. It’s tragic and preventable. This image isn’t cute, but it should be a PSA.

Yeah the cat my dad had as a teenager died that way :(

No worries, the owner directly went to help as she heard a sound, the picture was taken by the little sister in these few seconds :)

Still probably best to replace the cords, assuming the owner occasionally leaves her house.

The point is this situation could come up when no human is home to help.

Yeah, you should read that comment again before you glibly talk about there being no worries from a picture that literally contains a reason to worry

Something you didn't understand maybe ? As I tried to tell multiple times under here, don't worry, cause we do, and take care of the dangers. Sorry to share a funny moment.

In California you can't even find blinds with pull strings like that anymore, they are all self adjusting so you just grab the bottom and move it to the level you want and it just stays there.
