There had to be one out of the five who would show an interest in
electrical cords. I've read stories here about other's cats that chewed
on cords. I considered myself lucky, until last night. Barnabus chews on
cords and cables. I was on the laptop last night when suddenly it quit
- lost power. I looked around to see what had happened, thinking
Barnabus had pulled the plug on the back of the laptop. Nope, he'd
bitten into the cord. <sigh> Another lesson for a kitten. Electrical
cords are not food. Every cord in house will be unplugged before we
leave for our trip this weekend.

Oo. Yeah, Grant was a cord chewer. I finally duct taped everything to the
floor and bundled anything I could and wrapped it. He grew out of it by a
year old or so.

VERY VERY fast, agile babies, with pointy sticky things. ;)

At a hardware you can get some plastic tubing wide enough to run all
your cords through. Use electric tape to secure the end to the plug
and opposite end.
