Fair warning…..this post will diverge a bit from my usual geek/tech posts……
Why the hell does my cat, Pixel, like to bite toilet paper? If we leave any of our bathroom doors open, she goes in and gnaws on the toilet paper on the roll – she just puts lots of holes in it but doesn’t actually eat it. The worst part is she doesn’t destroy it, she makes it look like it’s still usable since it’s still intact, but when you try to unroll it, it sticks to itself where she has punctured it and when you do get the paper off it has big cat-mouth-sized holes in it. If the roll was full I usually have to remove half off it to get past where here teeth penetrated. If the roll was half or less, it goes in the trash.
Damn cat. Oh yeah, she chews wires too. As an example, the power cord on our cordless phone in the living room is about a foot long now since I have had to splice it so many times since she chewed it. She stopped doing that when I coated all the wires I could find with Tabasco.
Pixel’s cute though. Here are some pics of her as a kitten – see how she got her name? She’s following the mouse cursor around the screen. Anyone else have cats or dogs with geeky names?
