You know, we always hear you should have more fruits and vegetables – the same really applies to cats, well at least I personally think so.

Minor detail, even though the Apple in this example is more on the sticky kind of Apples, it does lead one to wonder about the strange attraction cats normally have towards Apple products. This is just a sticker sure, and one of our cats has a fascination towards anything sticky, but there is an even more strange obsession.

You see, each time you purchase a new Apple product, whether it’ll be an iPod, iPhone or anything relating to audio, they normally come nicely bundled with Apple’s earbuds, you know those that normally don’t sit quite comfortably in your ears, but are brand spankingly white and it makes you look cool – I have lost count on the number of occasions where we have had to replace these earbuds.

We didn’t replace them because they are just all of a sudden stopped working no, we also didn’t replace them because they didn’t live up to our expectations. We changed them because they had shown signs of bite marks and exposed wire beneath the white coated covering on the earbuds, you see our cats had a strong fascination for Apple earbuds and we could not figure out why, and we have come up with one theory, as I shall explain below.

We have a reason to believe that all Apple manufactured earbuds are rubbed with what is called Catnip before packaging, you must be thinking now, we are crazy, right? Well it does essentially make perfect sense from a business stand point, let’s face it, iDevice owners are mostly cat people (quite a huge assumption here) and if you have come across having any of your earbuds being eaten alive by cats then you’ll be making your way back to purchase another set of the lovely white coated earbuds and the cycle repeats again.
