Animal damage to system

Cats! Aren't they great! Mine has this cable/power cord fetish, also. I have replaced every lamp cord going to lights, any and every cable that can be chewed has been--it's gotten so bad that I've had to put the cables inside foam insulation wraps for water lines!
And my cat is 10 years old! I've had lots of cats over the years, but none had this cable fixation. I keep thinking I'll come home sometime to find a charcoal pile in the middle of the floor!

One day I was missing my Totem Forrest speakers' big and reach bass and then another day and then I realized that the woofers had been squized in by my kids. This problem was solved quickly with the duct tape to pop them out back, but previousely one of them pushed the speaker so it fell exactly to the corner of TV tweeter down... That one I needed to replace. Gladly I found the dude who had nearly the same problem and boght pair of new selling him my used.

Sorry to hear your problems with cats,if I had a cat chewing my expensive cables,well she wouldn't get a second chance.Cut their claws and maybe pull out their teeth.Just kidding but in any case I wouldn't put up with a situation like this.

I keep my dogs in the house with no problems! If one of your cats manage to wiggle in my house, no problem for me the boys will be having fillet of feline! I never heard of cats eating wires. I heard of them spraying, and I heard of of dogs weeing on speakers. But mine dont and they would be in the yard from here on if they do. Time to get rid of the kitty cats and get your selves dogs. LOL Good luck!

I had a ferret who liked to climb in through the port of my NHT VT2's and fall asleep. He never did any damage, but it took some heavy bass to coax him out of there! I would up buying some plastic plumbing grates at home depot, sanding them smooth on one side, and using double-stick tape to stick them over the ports. Believe it or not, when done they looked like the belonged on there, and I never heard any port noise caused by the grille.
