Answer

Curtain climbing is a natural feline instinct for many cats, driven by their desire to climb, scratch, and survey their surroundings from high vantage points. To redirect this behavior, ensure your cat has appropriate alternatives. Provide tall, sturdy scratching posts (either vertical or angled), cat trees, or window-mounted perches that satisfy her climbing needs. You can also make curtains less appealing by applying double-sided sticky tape or motion-activated air deterrents temporarily. Reward her whenever she uses her designated climbing spaces. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
