Post Subject: Cats and cablesPosted by JOHNR on: 10/29/2015

I have my amps open and made safe from the cats diddling or so I thought.
One day, I am listening to the system and reading a book.
I heard a loud thud and looked up.
There was my poor cat, on its back with all of its paws pointing to the ceiling and completely immobile.
She is dead! how and why. I rushed across the room to touch her and sure enough, dead.

I sat down next to her and wondered how I would tell my wife.
After about 30 minutes she got up and walked away, a bit wobbly but alive.
She is now 6 years older and no longer chews cables.

She had bitten into the wires feeding the OPT (320 volts)

Nowadays she happily walks across the glowing tubes, does not touch anything.

They learn very quickly and, as someone mentions in an earlier post, if they cannot eat it, they will ignore it.

I should not worry one jot mixing cats with amps, mine are still open. Children are a no-no, amps unplugged when we have visitors.

Regards
John
