Animal damage to system

Funny you should mention cats ... Sylvester, the Alpha Male, scratch out out a pair of EPI 100 and a pair of KEF Q55 speakers. He also chewed through some telephone wires (under the carpet) and shorted out my phone system. Scooter, the franchise kittie, almost set my apartment on fire by knocking over a lamp ... the lampshade was smoldering against the light bulb when I walked in. Vino, the tough guy from Bayonne, punched out the aluminum slot protectors on the back of my computer and scratched out the motherboard. Gone are the days when kitties just urinated on the carpet.

Keep smiling ... they're just being cats.

That's a weird cat....I've never known anything other than hamsters / gerbils do that sort of thing in a domestic setting. I had a gerbil chew through a pair of interconnects - little damage, and my cousin had a hamster chew through a lamp power cord - it didn't survive - not even close.....remind your cat of this!

Sorry to hear about that. I had a similar experience with a cat (not one of mine!). I was using Nordost speaker cables at the time, and he chewed them up completely. The single reason I will not use Nordost in my system.

I guess it is the only way your cat can tell you it is time for an upgrade!

:o)

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!
