A favorite New Yorker cartoon depicts a cat dressed in a business suit sitting at a big desk before an office window with a commanding view of the city skyline. One paw holds down a piece of string on the desk, the other paw holds a telephone.
"Can I call you back? I'm with a piece of string at the moment."
Favorite Onion headline: "War on String May Be Unwinnable, Says Cat General."
Yeah, they do that. You have to keep little wires away from them. Mine chewed up a few but they seem to have stopped that bad habit. I don't trust them completely.
Anything that dangles needs to be kept in a drawer that is too heavy for the cat to open. Don't think you can just put it up somewhere high and it will be safe; the cat can get to it.
"I hope Mouse doesn't have fleas. I had to get rid of my two cats cuz I couldn't get rid of those damn fleas. It was a circus."
You should try Frontline for cats. One squirt between the shoulder blades once a month does the trick. You can buy it from your vet.
That shit's expensive, but it does the job. (I don't remember the price, but it's at least $7 or $8 per cat per month, probably more.) I have three cats who go outdoors constantly, but they never bring back fleas. You do have to sneak up on the cats when they're not expecting it.
This reminds me of the ludicrous account which he gave Mr. Langton, of the despicable state of a young Gentleman of good family. 'Sir, when I heard of him last, he was running about town shooting cats.' And then in a sort of kindly reverie, he bethought himself of his own favourite cat, and said, 'But Hodge shan't be shot; no, no, Hodge shall not be shot.'[
I told you Mouse needs a friend to play with. You'll have to put up all the nice rubbery squishey stuff, since it sounds like Mouse is teething. We always had those skinny rawhide sticks availble for their crunch and munch episodes.
Be thankful Mouse isn't a puppy, Jeff. Late one deadline crunching night in front of the laptop, I took a break for some fresh air, leaving my then 2 mo. old beagle alone for ten minutes. When I came back, my power supply was completely decimated and I needed to ask for an extension when the battery went dead. Though I was eternally grateful it wasn't plugged in, I cursed his name until I went hoarse. Beagles like to chew.

Jeff,you're better off for it.
ear buds are actually the worst thing you can wear because the sound isn't muffled.
