Forget this gimmick, the real yuropean superiority is in proper blinds that are actually designed to block most light. For some reason they are extremely uncommon in north America

I just want something my cat can’t destroy, is that too much to ask?

European blinds solve this as well, they are made of plastic and are on the outside of the window, not inside

Huh? They aren't in every European country

At least all countries I've been to have blinds on the outside. Germany and Netherlands have rolling shutters like these: https://www.rollorieper.de/images/rollladen/overview_rollladen_mobile.webp

Southern and Eastern european countries tend to have little doors on the outside like these: https://www.schneider-schoenwalde.de/fileadmin/_processed_/3/8/csm_moosgruene-fensterlaeden_d2513c37b0.webp which are made of wood or plastic

I have never been to poland, scandinavia or the baltics, but all countries I've been to have one way or another to completely block light and don't let cats scratch the curtains
