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


Probably.  A cousin's dog chewed through a cable once and got some
pretty awful burns.  A cat's much smaller.

You COULD try a product called Bitter Apple.  It tastes awful- wash
your hands well, ten or twelve times, after applying.  Probably won't
work, though.

I've always wondered if the most effective means mightn't be to smear
tuna juice on a particular cable with a very sophisticated
anti-dead-cat mechanism, that would still deliver a good jolt.  Let
the cat get a couple of VERY nasty shocks on its tongue in a situation
that guarantees its safety, and figure that cats learn at least as
fast as humans about electric shock.

After all, I've always found it VERY hard to touch an object once it
has shocked me a good one, even when I'm sure I've isolated and fixed
the problem...
