The Case of the Broken Wii Sensor Bar: Case Closed
On Friday we reached out to you for help in solving yet another mystery in our house – The Case of the Broken Wii Sensor Bar. For not the first, but the SECOND time, the sensor bar to our Wii got chewed in half…
I will add that this same criminal is suspected in destroying several other cord devices –
- 3 phone chargers
- 1 laptop charger
- 1 power supply cord for the base of our home security system
- 1 cable to our wireless router
- and now, 2 wii sensor bars
That is quite a rap sheet… and choosing to add to it so close to Christmas? Bad timing…So like I said, we reached out to our readers for help in solving this case, and we received the following information on our tip line:
- Delilah was named once
- Sampson was named twice
- Sassy was named once
- Caster was named once
- Not Me was named four times (poor guy…)
Yet, the one kitty who was not named a single time happens to be the guilty one…
Yep… Sophie! ConCATulations, Sophie… you had everyone fooled! Sophie is our notorious chewer, and we are actually very careful about leaving cords out within her reach. The only reason she got to the Wii sensor bar is because I was rearranging the way things were plugged into our TV, and the sensor bar got placed on the floor for 30 SECONDS!!! For a wobbly cat, she sure moves quickly… Thankfully a replacement is only about $5. And no, Sophie isn’t in any actual trouble. I’m sure Santa Paws will still be paying her a visit later this week…

Who’d a thunk??OMC!
We don’t have a wii but if we did Minko would likely try to add that to his list too…what is so attractive to these kitties that makes them do this.
A product called ‘phooey’ does help a bit, way better than bitter apple, which Minko seems to like, MOL!
Apple makes some kind of kitty repulsive tape too…

It’s a good thing you look so adorable, Sophie. Every kitteh knows that looking adorable cancels out any wrongdoings….

Poor Sophie. Her rap sheet is quite long. She is so quick!! A lucky kitty since she didn’t swallow some wires or anything like that – or did she?
Tamago says
What, Sophie! Oh my, I never imagined she would be the guilty one! But it’s so funny she got the sensor bar in just 30 seconds..she sure moves fast 🙂 Glad she is not in a real trouble. Though of course, she is always on a Santa Paws’ good list 🙂

Without solid video proof we don’t believe it. Nope. No way. You look way too innocent Sophie!
Kitties Blue says
Sophie, we are totally shocked; though, we should have thought of it knowing how much you love your string! You have the most honest face. Who knew you had this secret obsession. We are so happy you are not in trouble and will have a visit from Santa Paws. Sending love and hugs to all. Astrid sends Sampy a kiss for every needle on every Christmas tree, real or faux.

Ellen Pilch says
Sophie, you have such an innocent looking face. I am glad you are not in trouble. Careful with cords though, you can get electrocuted.
