This is one of the wild rabbits that lives along the walking trail I walk on regularly. He was nice enough to pose for me for just a minute.
Anyway, on to the real reason for this post. I’ve often said I am very much my mother’s daughter and yesterday I got just another example of how true that is. Demon cat has a bad habit of chewing through cords and wires. He’d chewed through my cell phone charger, so yesterday while I was out running errands I bought a new cell phone charger. Not 15 minutes after I had taken it out of the packaging and plugged the phone into it, I looked over and saw that Demon cat had already chewed through it! Being my mother’s daughter, and having her independent streak and resourcefulness, I immediately went to repairing it. I spliced the wires together, wrapped them with electrical tape, and then wrapped the whole cord with some heavy black plastic tubing he can’t chew through. I was just annoyed that he’d ruined it so quickly and didn’t want to throw it away when I had just bought it that day. Oh, and as an aside, I should say I am also my father’s daughter since he’s the one who taught me to use the tools in his shop. Thanks mom, and dad, too.

Let kitty chew on stove cord. That’ll cure him ….
Aunt Quilly – Yes, it would make it him dead, wouldn’t it?
You’re welcome, Brookie! We’ll get R done, by damn! But I’m wondering why he is STILL chewing things – when I told you how to stop that months ago?!?!?
Great pic of the rabbit – reminded me of when you had that little white one you would bring over on a leash. :-)
We’ll just call you MacGyver.
I had a cat years ago that chewed phone chords. On about the third trip to deliver a new one, the phone repairman said not to worry, that when the phone rings it’s 120 volts and eventually the cat would learn. One day, indeed, the phone rang, there was a loud yelp, and the cat went bolting across the house at a million miles per hour. Never chewed another chord.
Mama – I forgot about that rabbit I had. He lived in a cage in my living room most of the time.
Nessa – MacGyver works for me.
I Dive – Thanks for stopping by! And too funny about your cat. I hope he wasn’t hurt.
