Found Toys are the Best Toys

Pierre: We are angelic cats who never bother charging cables, unlike lots of other cats we hear about. So the head peep was surprised to catch me checking out the charging cable on the bedside table when I thought she was busy making the bed.

Pierre reaches for the iDevice cord

Gotcha!

I don’t understand what all the sudden “No!” stuff was all about. It’s string, and it’s in my house.

Am I right, kitties?

    The only cables we really like are the ones to Mom’s iPad. Mom read somewhere that Apple cables are more appealing to cats.

    We think that is a great looking toy. We sure would grab it in a skinny minute. You all have a wonderful Monday.

    I’ve never touched any charging cables, but I hope you had fun with it before your party pooper mom stepped in 😉 –Truffles

    We think you is right, Pierre! When the Mom wants us not to play with something, hers sprays this stuff called Bitter Apple on it to make it taste yucky. What on earth is that all about?

    we basically leave cables alone. although some black house cat who shall remain nameless did chew through mom’s speaker cords while she was on vacation once 🙂

    Yes, they are irresistible! We hear all that NO stuff too when we find them. Do not understand this at all!

    I don’t touch those things either. They are beneath me and they don’t taste good.

    I know a teeny tiny boy who would agree with you–he is particularly enamored with the unplugged cord of the fountain when my mom is cleaning it!

    And if she doesn’t want you touching it, it should not be left out. All things belong to cats, Mom!

    That would get a big ol’ NO for us too. We’re like you, though. It doesn’t have feathers or fur, so we’re all MEH about them. Usually.

    OMC PIERRE!! My Mom just had a fit today! She was setting up my new water fountain and I started to chew on the cord (of course it wasn’t plugged in), but now Mom is worried about the cord attracting me because now it IS plugged in. We are brudders from another mudder!! Love, Cody

    There must be something in the air because lately I’ve been wanting to nibble on the cord when mom recharges her cell phone.
