Zissou sleeps either on my bed or her little bed in the windowsill above me. Well, her little bed is by the cords to adjust the blinds. The ones in the front window are fine, but for some reason somebody tied the ones in this window in a knot at the end and I never noticed in the three weeks I've been here. Zissou, of course, likes to play with the cords (I try to keep them up and away, but it's nigh impossible with this window).
So here's the scary part.
I was awoken around 5 am this morning by a panicked sounding meow and a weird clawing/scrabbling noise. Of course I woke up in a panic like any meowmy would... and saw Zissou hanging from the blind cords by her neck. She must have been playing with them while she was on her bed, and fallen off and been tangled up in them. They were actually around her neck strangling her when she woke me up.
Needless to say the cords are untied now. And I just wanted to remind everyone to make sure theirs are too.
I feel like an idiot. I try so hard to keep everything kitty-proofed and of course the one thing I miss...
