Gosh my heart goes out to you. Is there any way that you can cover up the cords with something? Put sticky tape on them for now or rub the cords with an orange as cats hate the smell of citrus, or even surround the cords that lie on the ground with orange peels.

I'm glad that you are going to give it a little more time. It's so hard to make a decision whether to keep them or not.

I pray that it works out for Onyx as he is so adorable.

Good luck.
