Pet Stories

Thought I'd share a pet story with you.Just recently I puchased some new speakers of which I am very proud of (B&W Nautilus 802's/803's/HTM-1/Velodyne HGS-15 sub). Anyway, after placing them around the living room, much to my dismay I started noticing some stain marks on the lower parts of the grilles. Suspecting the culprit was our six year old miniature pinscher, sure enough I caught him in the act of lifting his leg and relieving himself on one of my beautiful new speakers. After a sound flogging of his posterior I purchased some repellent and sprayed it on them ( it turned out to be an attractant ). Well,after threatening to either have him castrated or hang a clothes pin on him, my wife, who was beside herself defending her poor little darling, found a denim diaper with velcro tabs at the local pet store which she fitted him with and it works great ! It's kinda funny though to see him running around the house in a jock strap (guests get a real kick out of it). Anybody else got any pet stories they want to share ?

Great stories. I adopted two cats < 1 yr old from a friend moving out of town. Found an herbal spray product called "No-Scratch" (there's also a dog formula) and sprayed furniture, speaker grills, etc. Cats sometimes begin scratching new found, uncoated and recently coated things (I also provide the requisite yelling) , but after they revisit they don't go back. I re-apply only occasionally now.

Shortly after having my Vand. 3As upreaded to sigs., we got a part siamese kitten. I've had chickenwire around the 3As since (almost a year)-- that's right, chickenwire. It looks like hell, but does the job-- mids and highs ARE a little "wirey" though. And We've got tinfoil around 2Ces in the family room. But what to do? We like the cat. Cheers? Craig

Placing mouse traps around speakers and COVERING them with poster board will keep cats away. When the cat steps on the poster board and trips the mouse trap the noise scares the shit out of the cat with no harm done. After a few episodes, the cat won't step on paper of any kind (stimulus generalization). This works for furniture, counter tops and anywhere else felines are not welcome. I learned this AFTER my siamese shredded the grills on my Acoustat 2+2s by repeatedly climbing to the top (8 feet) and jumping off.

I don't own a pet, so haven't even thought about the challenges the rest of you face. But the thought of Robedk's dog running around with a Levi jockstrap on just had me on the floor in stitches.
