"...Pet Free..."


Why do people think that this phrase adds value to their listed component? I can't remember that last time my dogs peed on or chewed up any of my components.

well i can see where some buyer's get freaked out about pet's,i have seen quite a few pic's of gear where the seller thought it would be a good idea to take pic's of the gear he was selling with a cat laying on top of it :(

i think they also believe that we all let our animal's run amock & piss & fart all over our gear,my pooch wont even walk within 5 feet of any of my gear.
Bigjoe - too funny!!! Yes, now that everyone metions it, I have read multiple posts about kitty's snuggling up to equipment. Beemer, I'm like you. I keep my equipment in my office with a lock on the door. I have too <4 yr boys and two dogs. I just want to keep my equipment safe from EVERYONE - my wife, my nieces and nephews, baby sitters, etc.

Has anyone had any experience with a pet ruining a piece of equipment? I'll bet there's some funny stories there.
I remember reading recently in an Audiogon thread where an owner's male dog lifted his leg on his tube amp. I can't remember if anything happened to the dog, but the amp suffered a fried board.
i read a post a while back where some one's cat puked on their preamp & it sounded better after the cat ralphed on it,what was even better was that another guy(i think jax)was squeezin his cat trying to get it to puke on his preamp for the tweek!

Hey, no cats in this house to yak on my pre! Diesel would love to 'squeeze one out' if he could only get his paws on one. He's tried his best to get a hold of the neighbor's cat. He once came mighty close (I still got the burns on the palms of my hand from that leather leash breaking free)...cat was 60 feet up an evergreen and didn't come down for three days. OK, I tried to get him down at risk to life and limb, but he kept climbing higher. I should've taken a picture that night of the cat in the tree against the setting sun like he was waiting for his owl companion. Diesel has no interest in my gear either, but isn't above letting Mr. Stinky rip in the same room. Didn't occur to me as anything I should mention in my ads though. Does that mean human farts should be noted as well?
