Pet Stories


Thought I'd share a pet story with you.Just recently I puchased some new speakers of which I am very proud of (B&W Nautilus 802's/803's/HTM-1/Velodyne HGS-15 sub). Anyway, after placing them around the living room, much to my dismay I started noticing some stain marks on the lower parts of the grilles. Suspecting the culprit was our six year old miniature pinscher, sure enough I caught him in the act of lifting his leg and relieving himself on one of my beautiful new speakers. After a sound flogging of his posterior I purchased some repellent and sprayed it on them ( it turned out to be an attractant ). Well,after threatening to either have him castrated or hang a clothes pin on him, my wife, who was beside herself defending her poor little darling, found a denim diaper with velcro tabs at the local pet store which she fitted him with and it works great ! It's kinda funny though to see him running around the house in a jock strap (guests get a real kick out of it). Anybody else got any pet stories they want to share ?

Placing mouse traps around speakers and COVERING them with poster board will keep cats away. When the cat steps on the poster board and trips the mouse trap the noise scares the shit out of the cat with no harm done. After a few episodes, the cat won't step on paper of any kind (stimulus generalization). This works for furniture, counter tops and anywhere else felines are not welcome. I learned this AFTER my siamese shredded the grills on my Acoustat 2+2s by repeatedly climbing to the top (8 feet) and jumping off.
