Animal damage to system

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!

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.
