Crazy Cats
I'm not getting very good sleep these days. The crazy cats keep waking me up way too freaking early. They usually just scratch on the door, and I'm able to ignore that if I'm super tired. But the other day I woke up just before 5 am when the cordless phone flashed on. (Yes, I'm that sensitive to light.) I looked at the phone as the light turned off, then then the little red charging light went out as well. I could hear a slight sound of it's power cord tapping against the wall, so I gathered that this was not a simple power flicker/failure.
I got up and pulled the cord up to confirm that, yes indeed, the cat had chewed through the cord. This is most likely the work of Shelly, our oldest resident cat. I've caught him chewing on the fan power cord before. And he's most likely responsible for the teeth marks in the drawing tablet's USB cord.
So I'm already awake now and annoyed at the cat. So I got up and cut out the chewed section, spliced it back together and wrapped it up with electrical tape.
Crazy Cats! I might have to start putting Tabasco on the power cords again if he keeps this up.
