What did your pet(s) do today?

[FireSignFemme]

Well, Monte decided he needed a snack so while I was away he gnoshed on cords – telephone and computer. My son had just worked on the computer, got it up and running again and then a day later Monte turns around and munches on stuff, puts it out of commission. He bit the computer cord into three pieces. Today Jillian took me to buy some replacements, they had the phone cord but not the one we needed for the computer and she didn't want to go any place else to chase one down. And she said we couldn't use electrical tape because it was dangerous. Well my father showed me how to use it when I was about ten, I've been using it for decades and decades and never killed myself once yet, nor did his father or his father's father before them. It's not like lead paint, I'm not going to eat the stuff. Anyhow she bought these little metal connector things and now we're back in business. We've got a plan to keep it from happening again but oh he's frustrating me. I guess that's what happens if he wolfs down half a large can of cat food and is left with only a heaping bowl of crunchies while I'm gone for an hour – take that Mommy Dearest!

There's a spray you can use for the the things he chews on. I have a chewer too and had to use that until she was trained to avoid the electrical stuff. I used water bottles to squirt her in the process of training to speed things up and it worked. She doesn't chew cords. Of course, plastic toys, metal knobs and the cat carriers are still getting noshed on from time to time but they are less likely to kill her so I just divert her attention when I see her working on one of them.

For the record, I use electrical tape too. Although not suggested, it held my grinder together for a very long time so I'm partial to it myself.

If it hasn't been one thing it's been the next. Turns out Monte gnawed on some other cords and computer parts that weren't obvious until we started moving things around. Though still working the cords were positional, potentially dangerous and had to go. Also there was a box which even though it was working my son said needed to be replaced. He had a new one at home I could have it. Long story short, don't ask questions. Well I know he's too honest for there to be crime involved so I'm not worried enough to care about particulars. I just let him do his thing and now I have a new whatever it is and it looks nice. Since one of the things Monte snacked on was the mouse I got a new one, cordless, one less thing for him to bite into and it's the best mouse ever! It fits in my hand like it was made for me it's that comfortable. Anyhow thanks to J and my son I'm back online again. Yeah! I went from this to this to this And now I'm watching Monte like a hawk

Currently, Gracie is looking out the window and perching 3 of her 4 feet on the one inch window sill that doesn't have a blind resting on it. She is very invested in whatever has caught her eye and looks cute as a button.

Loki is laying on the back of the sofa, resting and doing his impression of a sack of sand. He was sick again last night so I've got to do something. I think Royal Canin changed their formula when they changed their design on the bag. He's always been able to eat anything, which he gets from his mama, but since I got the bag with the new design on it, he's totally unpredictable. Unfortunately, I already mixed the two kinds together and they look very very similar so I can't separate them out. I think I'm going to grab a different brand of urinary support food and mix that and see what happens.

No accidents or upset tummies the past few days so I'm hopeful that he either got used to the food or passed through whatever bug was messing with his system. He's watching TV with me now and Gracie's on the back of the sofa, giving herself a bath.
