Wow, where were you BEFORE Sparkle broke my $150 lamp in the living room? Of course, she wasn't rubbing against it, she was flying around the house like a goof and the lamp didn't get out of her way in time.

Oh, BTW, I have vaseline on all the cords - lamps, stereo, TV. Cats don't like the taste, smell, feel on their tongues. Only thing is, it attracts every dust bunny for miles around, so periodically you have to clean the cord down and re-apply the vaseline.
