biting electrical cords
My cat, Trouble, who is 4 years old is still very much like a kitten...I
guess that is due to my own playfulness with her. One issue I have and that is that she bites my electrical cords - teething like - she actually bit through my AC adaptor for my new laptop ;-( What can I do to stop this behavior? I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

Grab a roll of duct tape and have at the cat's head. Won't be biting a damn
thing anymore. "Brett Berrie" wrote in message . net... My cat, Trouble, who is 4 years old is still very much like a kitten...I guess that is due to my own playfulness with her.

.net... My cat, Trouble, who is 4 years old is still very much like a kitten...I guess that is due to my own playfulness with her. One issue I have and that is that she bites my electrical cords - teething like - she actually bit through my AC adaptor for my new laptop ;-( What can I do to stop this behavior? Go to a hardware store and buy some clear plastic tubing, about 1 or more inches in diameter. Cut a length for as many feet long as the cord is. Then take an exacto knife and slit the tubing lengthwise. Stuff cords inside. That's what I did with my cord biter and it worked like a charm.
