First, I should tell you that we've tried wrapping cords in tin foil - we heard that cats don't like the feel of it.
Not so with our little Otis… he liked the challenge.
I was tempted to try putting hot sauce on the cords, but Odie eats dog food...
actually, Odie eats everything, so I think the only result of that attempt would be me having to clean up cat puke or diarrhoea everywhere.
Not worth the risk.
We've gone through at least 4 iPad cords in the last two months - and at $40 a pop to replace them - Odie is living on borrowed time.
I'm trying a new method now.
If I can't stop him from chewing the cords, then maybe I can make the cords more impenetrable.
Enter duck tape;
Look at him - even with me sitting there he doesn't hesitate to attack!
If the little bugger wasn't so cute he'd be out of all nine of his lives by now.
One strip of duck tape will wrap the cord about 4 times, so it makes a pretty thick barrier that hopefully his little teeth won't be able to get through.
I'm just worried I'll see this laying around somewhere in the night and think it's a snake.
Duck tape or not, I'm pretty sure stomping it to death might break it. lol
Milo has better things to do with his time - we call this pose "Nuts up".
Have a great one!
I clicked on this so fast, I almost broke my mouse, which is about the only thing my pe(s)t cat hasn't chewed through yet. Ah well, the search continues.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya' - I've searched and searched and there is no deterring our little Odie. I do have to say that so far, so good with the duck tape though.
DeleteThanks for checking out the blog - if I find a sure-fire way, I promise to post it here.
