Re: kittens and cables!


Are they chewing on them. or just batting at them? If they're chewing (very dangerous!!) try coating them with Tabasco or any other hot pepper sauce....
afraid I don't have any suggestions for the batting....

Re: kittens and cables!


You are right to make sure that your kits are safe from electric cables, shock from which can be fatal.

I've had a quick look on t'internet and it seems you can get flexible safety cable to wrap around your existing cables. You can evidently get this from hardware stores! It's sort of a spiral plastic sleeve-like pipe that just slips over the cables. You can probably get different sorts! Failing that, you could use old hose pipe, cut it open, slip it on and tape it closed. Hope this helps.

You can also get clips to screw them closer to the walls etc so they are not hanging
