I used the leftover brown Sugru to attach the octopus to the monitor.  I put one lump under the head and two lumps under the two lowest tentacles.  I pressed it gently and it felt really secure right away.

Let the octopus rest on his new home for a day before you shove a mouse into his tentacles.  He has to come to terms with his existence before he's expected to perform his duties.

The Sugru is easily removable in case the kids stop getting into things some day.  Thanks for reading!
