Today was shot to hell before swallowing the frog that makes it all better. I bet you had days that were ruined when you were on a lucky streak.

I got the grocery shopping done, did rearranging of my bed and when I try to play the Wii U I got for New Year's Day, it didn't power on. Turned out our cat Gemini with a wire-chewing problem partially severed the main wires to the power supply. The little stinker is sitting next to me as I type.

Little Stinker is lucky to be alive! I guess that proves they have 9-lives.

If you've got a cat with wire-chewing issues, you'll probably want to secure wires better. Maybe putting a big plastic tube over them, or in some other way make them difficult to chew on. Cats don't understand the importance of playing Wii. Probably thought it was a mouse tail, and is now wondering why you're letting a bunch of mouse tails with no mice attached laying about

Aside from her chewing, she sings, models and cuddles with whomever she corners. I don't have the heart to off her, even if it was to put her out of her misery.

Aside from that, she's a cuddling kind of cat.

I have a rather large tangle of wires and I have yet to calculate how much Gemini-proofing I need to do.

Actually, you never met my cats. We have rather tech-savvy cats beyond the usual "chase after the red laser dot". They were raised by the son and granddaughter of a pioneering fiber optic cable refinement technician.

However, when we first adopted Gemini a couple years ago, she was quite a biter. She still is...
