I can't recall ever seeing a right angled version of one of yours.



They're fairly common. Some are very flat and the cord emerges
parallel to the wall, drooping 45 degrees from horizontal. They're
handy behind furniture.


Here's a quick overview of the UK plug and sockets.

Looks very safe and very klunky. And cats will still chew on the
cords.

Oh ! I've never some across cats with a taste for PVC.


We have banned the cats from Mo's workroom. I got her a Mac laptop,
and the cats love the power cord. They like the Cat5 (cats...cat5...
get it?) too, but not as much as the tasty Mac stuff.

The replacement Mac power supply was about $80.
