Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2005Power cord coating
What stuff that's bad-tasting to cats should I coat electrical power cords with so that the cat doesn't chew on them? > What stuff that's bad-tasting to cats should I coat electrical power > cords with so that the cat doesn't chew on them? I've heard people talk about something called Bitter Apple that seems to work although I've never had to use it. Other people get that PVC stuff and put it over their cords by making a slit in it. I think there are some other things, too. Anything citrus probably. The problem with sprays is you have to keep doing it frequently.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Candace I used a petroleum-based lip balm to keep Meep away from the Xmas tree bulbs the first year. Something that smells bad is even better than something that tastes bad, I'd say. But I've heard Bitter Apple works well - I think it's a dog detterent. jmc > I used a petroleum-based lip balm to keep Meep away from the Xmas tree > bulbs the first year.

In a hurry and not able to get any right away I have used hot sauce on the cords.

I've used cayenne pepper mixed with vaseline, it worked well, the cats would smell it and never bothered to touch the wires |
