Protecting Cords and Cables From Cats

I found a great way to protect my electrical cords and cables on my stereo system and my computer from my cats.

My husband has sleep apnea and uses a BIPAP machine. I take his used hoses, cut a slit down the side, and put the hose over the cord or wire. It works great.

If you use a CPAP/BIBPAP machine or have a friend/relative who does, ask them for their used hoses. Insurance replaces them on a fairly frequent basis and the person will probably be glad to find a good use for the hoses other than throwing them away.

We have four cats, and have never had a problem with them messing with the audio gear. They were told to stay away and they do. The only thing I have done is to put something on top of the speakers so they wouldn't even think of trying to jump up there. They just leave it all alone.
Cats are intelligent. Cats have staff, dogs have owners.

"Cats have staff. Dogs have owners."

Love it. Quite simply the best I've heard when it comes to the difference between the two.

All the best,

My cat Chandler used have foam balls to play with. He loved that he could bite them and sink his claws into them. I loved them because they bounced and were fun to play with (with Chandler) and they didn't break things when tossed in the house. You can check and buy BPAP machine (info right here) that has more protective cables and your dog or cat will never damage it.
