I'm jumping in with a suggestion about those wires. Get some long pieces of clear plastic tubing (probably any major hardware store will have it) and carefully cut the entire length of the tubing..measuring how long it needs to be first. Slip it over the wires (as many as you can bundle together inside it) and hopefully this will solve THAT problem. The parts where the tubing doesn't cover, I'd spray with the bitter stuff. Sleep deprevation and a brandy new baby I'm sure are adding to stress all around. I lve the idea of a cat room as well that Pixie can feel secure in. Wishing you luck, and hoping you don't have to rehome her too.
