…and i read all about how to keep the kitties from attacking the cords. there’s even a video, but i have no time for videos this morning.
the very first suggestion for chewing deterrent is SPRAYING SOMETHING REPELLANT ON THE CORDS. so, kevin of course knew what he was talking about. besides tabasco, there are products out there you can use.
the problem with this, the site said, is that it wears off eventually.
there are some kind of cord-protectors you can buy. I WILL BE BUYING THEM RIGHT AFTER TYPING THIS. it seems the fastest and easiest thing to do. another suggestion was covering them with double-sided tape (the cords, not the cats), but the site mentioned all the stuff that would stick to the tape. since we already have balls of fur floating around here that are the size of old-west tumbleweeds, i don’t think we need the addition of sticky tape.
last night i told randy about the problem and he said we could tape the cords down, and that, too, was a smart-sounding suggestion on the site. and that’s actually what sandy did. maybe we can do that right now, although i guess the tabasco should work for a few days, at least.
there were plenty of other good-sounding suggestions, but no mention of spreading flour on the floor. i guess that makes sense, because clearly they’re doing it, but on the other hand the flour might show us if they’re not doing it anymore. but on the other hand, mollie would probably go lick up the flour anyway.
whew.
it’s always something,
ok, mrs. hughes.
