FELLOW CAT OWNERS - I have a question
Nov. 3rd, 2011 03:03 pmI have this cat. She isn't even mine. She belongs to my mom, who insists that this cat stays indoors along with my cat, who gets along with her more than 70% of the time. This cat is stupidly sweet, but she's also a monster She eats a ton of food (which I pay for), has ripped a HUGE hole in these gauzy curtains that are over 20 years old (which I have to replace), and chews on nearly all the cords to all my electronics in my room.
Today, when I went to turn on my XBox, the video wouldn't display on the tv. The sound worked just fine, though. After messing around with the HDAV cable, I figured out the problem: the cat had chewed it up to the point where there was a fault in the wire somewhere. Now, I have to buy a new HDAV cable.
Yeah, I should probably confront my mom about this and ask for compensation (it's her damn cat), but she has this way of slithering out of things like this and placing the responsibility on me. She already said that if I move out, I have to take her cat with me. Ahahahahaha - no. Dealing with mom is very tiring.
Anyhow, question: HOW do I get this damn cat to stop chewing on my cords? I've already tried offering her alternatives (toys), but she always goes back to the cords.
