Potential solution found to cats pulling out extension cord.

Those "in-use" receptacle covers will certainly solve the problem of pulling the cords out of the wall. But...how are they doing it? If they grab the cord in their mouths and pull, then securing the plug into the receptacle with this or any other device may just cause them to pull harder, bite through the jacket, and then...bad things will happen.
My wife and I spend a fortune on bird seed and other bird food, and have often had problems with feral cats destroying the birdlife we attract. Out here in the countryside, the standard method for dealing with these pests is...probably not what you want to hear.

It’s more that they play around the tank and their bodies brush against it and it ends getting judged out.
Should probably look into a new receptacle as a whole if its loose enough that a cat brushing it will knock the plug loose. To me that says the slots are worn.
Even still outlets should fit snugly that it takes a decent amount of force to pull the plug. Like how snug the fit is when you buy a brand new extension cord or power strip.
Thanks for sharing your insights and solutions, even after all these years. It's a testament to your dedication as a pet owner!
My cat has a tendency to engage with cords, and this behavior can pose risks. I'm searching for potential remedies or strategies to address this issue.
