Well, I hate to reply to off-topic threads, but it is equipment
related (a little :-) and probably time to snip all those dead
cat, cat5000, etc. jokes in the bud.
Find something like the "Bitter Apple" spray. I used it on plants
and things I don't want them to eat. It really puts them off, and
as long as you're careful it shouldn't make a mess. I've used it on
dried flowers as well.
Hmm, I should put this on my toes when I walk near the bed.
I've used this one:

Here's another one (and specifical mentions power cords, so see,
it's ok :-)
