You can just get a single outlet with a switch on it, plug it in to the wall outlet, plug the charger into it, and switch it off when not in use. Most hardware stores carry these:

That green. That gorgeous, mid-century/arts and crafts bungalow green. I love it. Name please?

I love the way your kitty is facing the camera as if to say "you see what a small kitchen I have to put up with?"

I saw crocuses and snowdrops in Carroll Gardens last week, and magnolia buds all over soho like those. Spring is near!

You're playing with fire by keeping stargazers in the same house as a cat (all parts of the lily are deadly to cats if ingested). You must be very brave or very secure in the knowledge that kitty ...
