Please accept my apologies if this should be OT, I wasn't sure.

In the past my cats have chewed through a few network cables which =
aren't cheap.  And yesterday I just noticed they chewed up a Nokia =
charger (wall wart) and rendered it completely useless.  Those are only =
DC a few volts.  I'd stick my tongue across the wires if I didn't have a =
Voltmeter.  (-:

For their water supply they have a little fountain that filters and =
pumps the water.  This is connected directly to mains (220VAC) and I =
noticed it had been chewed a bit so that a little wire was exposed.

Then I started to get worried.  There are many things plugged in all the =
time in my house.  What is the risk to the cats if they chew on a live =
wire?  I've seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where the cat =
chews through the Christmas tree cord and gets fried.  I'm hoping that =
is fiction. =20

Anyone with experience with this?  I love my cats, could one of them =
actually die from this?

Anyone know how to prevent this if it is a hazard?  I've tried cayenne =
pepper before on the network cable but it didn't help much.  Just =
guessing, but maybe make a paste of cayenne and water and then paint it =
on the wires? =20

I've been 3 years with one cat without any incident with mains wires and =
1 year with 5 cats since kittens without it, but seeing bare wire on a =
wire direct to mains scared me.  My cats are my family and I'd never =
forgive myself if something happend that could have been prevented.

Thanks very much in advance for any help you might share with me on this =
matter.

Best regards,
Lindy
