Natasha Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Why hilarious? Because if I don't laugh, I'll need to kill my "new-ish" Siamese cat! Some will remember my query when ONE remote handset "died". Of course checked all plugs, connections etc. Finally put (correct) new batteries in all 3 sets, with batteries left over. Still didn't really work for more than a few moments..... until it didn't work at all. In desperation, gave up and bought a whole new set (got a bit of a deal on Amazon MX due to Buen Fin). Today started the process of change-over, meaning new batteries in all 3 and leaving to charge for 7 hours as instructed. To do that, had to put the new one replacing the dead one in same location, and on unplugging the adapter from the wall...... HOLY COW!!! The little wire had been chewed right in half 🤬... by of course I know exactly whom. Wire well hidden (or so I thought) behind deep table top so never dreamt she would get at it there. Anyway, now will be posting on "For Sale" section here one base unit with answering system, one "intact remote set, and one more that will work IF someone is good at splicing chewed wire together OR wants to buy this one portion. All contain brand new batteries and will include the extras. Meanwhile, Rick S, Pedro K, and others can have a good belly-laugh at my expense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted November 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm just informed by one who "knows" ? that the wire can indeed by spiced. But that cow has already left the barn-.........sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 ROTGL When I had Cornish Rex cats, I would wipe down every wire and cord in the house with bitter apple every few months. I would watch the cats 'taste' the cord, make a face, and walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 A friend of mine who was a young mom with 2 little kids back in the days of VCRs, had that device go on the blink. She took it to the repair shop and when she went back to pick it up, the technician told her it was full of cookies. The kids had been feeding cookies into the slot the tape goes into.
