Animal damage to system

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.

Ah, the cat. My wife/daughter have a cat so ambitiously named, "Kitty." This cat has not seen the inside of my living room (nor my bedroom for that matter)since the day it was miserably introduced into my life.
I would go into cardiac arrest if I saw it near my Gershmans, perhaps trying to 'make out that other strange cat' in their high gloss black finish or perhaps wondering if they might be a good place to sharpen claws.
You know, as I've seen many pets in system photos, I have wondered if any one has lived to regret this. I guess some have.
Just think what they are up to when you aren't home? I'll bet it's similar to the cartoons where the toys come to life when everyone is asleep and wreak havoc, leaving the innocent kid to be blamed...
So, I had a girlfriend (was I around 19-20yrs old?) that had just bought herself a pet rabbit. And could not take it home. Her dad (wisely) would not allow it in his house, so she felt at liberty to use her key (now there's a classic mistake never to be repeated) to provide the rabbit with a safe and warm environment, my living room.
I came home to speaker cable chewed right in half, phone cable viciously breached in several places, and of course why would it not take liberty on coaxial cable? To add insult to injury, unlimitless amounts of droppings decorated my floor.
Either this rabbit was sick, or it had a strong sense of premonition and realizing it's near final destiny, thought it would strike a last blow to my ego.
By the way, my mother makes the best stifado you will ever taste.

In a case like this... "Animal damage" could equate "damaged animal."

LOL.....hoope your ferret lived long and enjoyed the ride!

:o)

After the cat wrecked my speaker cables, I temporarily replaced them with some other cables I had. This morning I discovered that the cat decided to wreck the surround speaker cables and the outside speaker cables too. The cat chewed them right at the wall plate where the come out of the wall. There is not enough slack wire in the wall to install a speaker binding post jack to extend the cables. It looks like new cables will have to be snaked through the walls again.It did not damage the 3 fronts that I replaced or any of the interconnects yet. We do have 2 large dogs in the house but they both get along well with the cats.Mabey the cat will try out a power cord someday. I want to run my cables in electrical flexible non metalic tubing (ENT)to protect them from any further damage. Is there a limit on many speaker cables can installed together in the ENT? Will I be degrading the sound if I run 7 speaker cables together in the ENT? Thanks for all your posts.
