A Tangled Challenger

You claim you won't yield? Grrr... I found something just as stubborn right on the carpet. A long, braided black charging cord was slithering across the floorboards like a coiled serpent guarding the wall socket. I pounced and clamped my teeth right over the thick rubberized neck near its plug. It whipped stiffly against my cheek, but I pinned the braided coil flat beneath my belly, wrapping my paws tight around the looped cable until it stopped twisting. If you refuse to surrender, neither does my grip on this rubber beast.
