Those frayed wires...bitter apple

A long time ago, my cat told me most of what she can
understand of my words. There iz "yaaah", two syllables that
rise in tone, and there's "noooh", which drops in tone. She
said them together one day. In most cases, while she iz
doing something, I can tell her that it iz either a good or
a bad idea, and she will heed me, EXCEPT FOR THOSE FRAYED
WIRES. I heard her in pain a few minutes ago, so I just had
a close look at the wires for a floor lamp hooked to a wall
switch; exposed copper in about three places. Okay, so now
she knows why I wuz telling her not to chew on that. The
base of it haz been broken for years, so it needs replacing,
anyway. The new one will get about three coats of "bitter
yuck", which iz about the same az bitter apple.

I've had cats that enjoyed chewing on phone wires - both the wires from
the jack and particularly the smaller wires from the handset holder to
the base unit. I finally solved the problem by using clear aquarium air
supply plastic tubing - looks better than the thicker tubing used to
cover heavier gauge computer equipment wires. Slit the tubing with a
utility knife and slip it around the tasty wires - interest in chewing
seems to totally stop.

My questions to the pet shop led to bitter apple, because of aquarium
air tubing. Echo used to love biting into it, and I wouldn't learn about
it until my aquarium sounded different. Even now, some of my tubing iz
shorter than I want, and if I look hard enough there are probably some bits
of tubing (coated with repellant) that I left on the floor to satisfy her
appetite. I think I managed to vocally suppress her taste in phone cord,
and come to think of it, I will coat that, too.

My first cat LOVED chewing on wires. It got to the point where I had to
replace thick printer cables, etc. I armored them with this blue, ribbed
flexible conduit. He couldn't even get his jaws around it.

One way or another. Grin.
