Plugged into my amp with valoume all the way up, and nothing is coming out...on...plugged in...plugged in...what the hell. Try another pair of headphones and they work fine. Upon further inspection the gawdamn cat had chewed up almost the entire length of the cord (6 feet). I quickly figured out why it wasn't frickin working. No big loss $25, but lord, is there anything I can do to protect my equipment from now on? Beat my cat until she stays out of my room or what?
-
You could properly put away your headphones and coil up the cord when you're done with 'em. Damn kids.
-
you could also put antifreeze into the cat's bowl....
-
You know i'm lazy right? Aside from making sure to set the guitar in the case after every play (damn dogs) I really don't do much. Looks like i'll start need to do that too:rolleyes:
-
nirvana sprinkle something sweet like syrup along the cord and let it dry. Or cyanide....cats hate both. Just remember not to lick your cord.:D
-
Good idea....
-
Want another one?
We are about to get rid of one of ours either by shelter adoption or river.
but one way or another this particular cat is as good as gone.
lol

My old boss used to tell this story till we peed ourselves from laughing.
Scene: Bathroom with one of those "over the john type shelve units on poles that extend from the floor to the ceiling." Old Boss wakes up mid sleep and has to take a piss.
Normal routine, cat jumps up on sink, then jumps up on over the toilet shelve and extends neck for petting.
This particular evening, he reaches up to scratch cats neck, cat falls off of shelf and frantically tries to find something to "latch" onto"
Urine shooting everywhere including onto a very pissed off and scared cat.
I actually don't remember much about what happens next as I am typically laughing too hard to hear the rest of the story.
His wife swears it's true..she says he even pee'd on the ceiling.

you could install an automatic stinging machine. or build some sort of gamma-powered mechanical monster, with freeway onramps for arms! AND A HEART AS BLACK AS COAL!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!
ps
you could just hide in the closet with a BB gun and shoot it anytime it gets too close.:aok
-
Mousetraps & a airsoft pistol both make excellent cat trainers.
Mousetraps for when your sleeping & they think they can break the rules.
Airsoft gun for when your sitting there & cat does something it shouldn't.
Don't even have to shoot mine anymore. Just pick it up, point it at the cat, flick the trigger, and Poof, cat is GONE, out of sight.
-
how do you know it wasn't the dogs? I'd bet the cat didn't do it.
-
Nuke's right, could have been the dog. I have two dogs and 4 cats. I've never seen a cat chew a cord (shred cat food bags yes, knock over trash can, yes) but the dogs have chewed up two extension cords, a lamp cord and cord to bass speaker.
-
Pull its teeth...
:aok

I had a cat chew on a power cord.
I smiled and waited.
(chomp, chomp....) FRZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
End of problem; it never did that again.
-
I've seen her chew up other cords and the teeth marks aren't big enough for any of the dogs.
-
Give me the cat, I will eat it. I HATE CATS.

Get "Bitter Apple" spray at the pet store.
Harmless, natural...tastes horrendously foul, and terribly bitter (the answer to the obvious questions is...yes, I did. 'Nuff said.)
I have two VERY big dogs, who will chew their own legs if they get bored enough (nope..not kidding). They were working over windowsills, doors, shoes, cords, christmas ornaments, etc...until Bitter Apple.
Shpritz this stuff on anything you want protected. They won't forget. After a while, they'll just smell the stuff and go away.
No need to drown the cat.
Good Luck!
-
Tabasco sauce, thats how I got the dogs to stop chewing cords. spray bottle + water + tabasco sauce :aok

The best way to get rid of a baby rock: Tie it to a cat and throw it in the river.

"Maaaaaa, Kity's bein' a di1do"

Just close your bedroom door when your away.

Just be happy he didn't yak a hairball in your headphones instead.

I've shown that picture to many people and most thought I was severely disturbed and generally ****ed up. I think it's funny anyway.
