	Our second cat developed an interest in chewing on electric cords.
We noticed that he only chewed on cords which happened to be in spots
he was (lying, sitting, playing) in.  Our solution was to put potted plants,
throw rugs, etc.  over the cords so they were out of harm's way.
The only ones we didn't do that with were the speaker wires, and Clyde
did chew them up.  We replaced those with heavier wire and (eventually) ran them
under the carpet.  Fortunately, he grew out of that stage...
	By the way, we have two cats and a dog, all strays, who live
and play together happily.  (It's funny to watch our first cat, who acts
like he owns the place, taking food away from a dog five times his size...)
