My parents built our house themselves, and our dog kept trying to chew on the temporary power line so my mom developed a similar concoction and painted it with the spicy dog repellent. He chewed on the power line once and never touched it again :)
Topher is my oldest cat, also of four, and he and Elvis could be twins. Very demanding of Mom time, inhales food like he’s been starved of it for a week (will shove the other cats out of the way of theirs because he ALWAYS finishes eating first), but with a little Puck thrown in – he likes to stay out of fights, his heart is too kind and gentle for that.
Elvis’s blep is perfect
