Adventures of Chip and Chuck NEW PICS #38

[momoffuzzyfaces]

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 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!
