OH MY GOSH....who has been in my house taking pictures of my cat??? I am now on the third set of sheers from this cat shredding my sheers!!!
...but I don’t have the heart to get rid of her...
Cat curtain anti-shredding protocol:
1. Get a great spray bottle and fill with water.
2. Calibrate it so it gives a good long distance stream—not a gentle spray.
3. Get busy in the room doing something but keeping an eye out for the feline perp.
4. Wait until the cat is fully engaged with the curtains, but not too long.
5. Drench the cat with water as fast as possible while yelling as loud as possible at the cat.
It’s worked with all my cats over the years but one. He loved the game so much he’d take the drenching as part of the game. He was the coolest cat I’ve ever had.

How old is the kitty?
Did you try the water squirt bottle?

I suppose you (or such an inclined friend) could macramé smaller than usual thread size (say 1/8th inch) jute corded curtains to hang in front of the sheers. Would take kitty a very long time to shred those. If you don't know any such friends, I'm sure someone like that is findable on the net. Might be able to crochet it with a big enough needle.
May I suggest a water pistol? That’s how I got a cat to stop jumping on counters.
