Great stories. I adopted two cats < 1 yr old from a friend moving out of town. Found an herbal spray product called "No-Scratch" (there's also a dog formula) and sprayed furniture, speaker grills, etc. Cats sometimes begin scratching new found, uncoated and recently coated things (I also provide the requisite yelling) , but after they revisit they don't go back. I re-apply only occasionally now.
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 ?
