How to Keep Your Cat From Electrocuting Himself

Posted by Jeanne on April 27, 2009

Cats are curious and some love to chew on things, especially what they are not supposed to be chewing on. For this reason, it is very important to cat proof your house. Part of cat proofing involves keeping electrical cords out of reach of your cat because he will invariably end up chewing on them. If it is not possible to have your cords shortened, there is another method that you can.

Try coating the cord with some different mixtures such as cayenne pepper, hot sauce, nail biting polish, or orange peel. You can also try organizing your electrical cords into tubes such as wrapping paper is on. This will keep them out of reach from your cat and help keep them safe from any electrical jolts.
