Adventures of Chip and Chuck NEW PICS #38

[Catty1]

I don't know how far away your brother is - but if you could get some long clear tubing (the length of the cords that need protecting) with a single slice down the length of it, they could be fitted over the cords. Hardware stores may have it...but it would be nice to have your brother fit it on. Though if your fingers are fairly flexible, it's easy to do.

VERY cute pics....how bad dey are!

ETA: Do you even remember the days before Winnie and Angel came along?

I was going to suggest that too. I think the tubing comes in heavy duty
hard rubber/plastic and metal coverings. Let them chomp on that once and
they woudn't like it.

I really loved seeing the pictures of all (but Grandma) interacting with the
tunnel. That's a real ice breaker & gets them all involved.LOL

Dear Chuck and Chip,

I read in Carmela, Sunny and Tangy's thread that their pic was sent in for the 2011 kitty calendar-- and that your pic is going in too! You will all be calendar girls and boys!

Could you please have meowmie give you two, Chester, Angel, Winnie and Grandma some petting and snuggles for me?

Thank you,
your admirer

Yes, I sent their pics in today. We hope they will be picked!!!
I'm not sure though. Chuck had a runny nose and Chip may be censored!! I didn't notice until after I sent it, the way he is sitting shows of, um some private part. I didn't notice until I saw the picture in the bigger format.

All lovies and snuggles have been delivered.

They are celebrating by being in lock down in the kitchen for jumping up on the curtains and window blinds this morning.

Don't fret! They are up to their eyeballs in toys and treats. The big kids are in there playing with them. They will get paroled after lunch.

I am just hoping I won't go totally nuts before they grow up!!!

Yep, maybe when they put the calendar together, they can put a fig leaf sticker or something over Chips, spot.

They thank you and Phesina for the happy 6 mo bd wishes.

I do have that tubing on some of the cords. It was pretty expensive so I only covered some of the cords. I'm thinking about splitting a paper towel tube and taping it on that cord until I can get back to Walmart Friday and get more of the plastic stuff. It might not stop them but it would slow them down giving me a chance to shoo them off.

Yea, I do remember life before Winnie and Angel. It was a very sad time. I was so depressed because of losing Leonardo. Those two sure helped me and made me laugh again. Not to mention turned the house upside down.

from ultimatecatsecrets.com (I added the italics)...

"Block access to visible cords by wrapping flexible safety cable (available at hardware stores) around them. Tin foil works well too, or even a thicker model or extension cord (that is too big for a cat to chew on)

"Apply unpleasant-tasting substances to exposed cords. These could include bitter apple spray, menthol, toothpaste, mouthwash or lemon juice.

"My favorite solution is rubbing the cords with a bar of soap."

Cassie hates aluminum foil. I wonder why toothpaste tastes unpleasant to a cat? She sure does love the cap from a toothpaste tube as a toy!

[columbine]

Supposedly cats hate grapefruit - you could try rubbing grapefruit peel on the cords.

Cuddles and chin rubs to Chip and Chuck - when they're being good!

Love, Columbine

This morning I put an empty paper towel roll around that cord and taped it on. So far so good.

Thanks for all the tips. I'm thinking maybe brushing liquid dish soap on the cords might work too. I use Dawn so it shouldn't hurt them if they get a taste.

Hi, Chip and Chuck, big brother Chester, and big sisters Angel, Winnie and Grandma! How are you? How was your Fourth of July weekend? Could you please have meowmie give you some hugs, kisses and snuggles from me?
