Can Vandy's get along with cats?

Finding offense at the killing of a pet because it damaged your speakers doesnt constitute strong moral judgment, just basic humanity.

My cats (5 in the house now) have never destroyed any stereo equipment, but I do admit that one does like to sleep on the turntable cover.

However, I had a Golden Retriever that once ate both cones out of both subwoofers during the day. Then, after I replaced one cone, and went into the garage for the other, the dog ate the one I just replaced.

Never touched either one after that. dont know why. It had been exposed to those subwoofers for a couple of years before the meal, and many years after.

Cats are like children, you never know what your going to get, but for the most part, I have been lucky over the years and havent had much destroyed.

As for killing a cat because it damaged speakers, theres a special place in hell for people like that.

Doug,
I dont think that killing your pet for damaging your speaker grills is an accepted response in most societies. I dont even want to go into how the cat met its demise. I doubt it was euthanized by a professional, but maybe.
I just think that if that is your response to a pet damaging your speaker grills, then you probably shouldnt have a pet. We have made certain animals our companions over the years, which I think creates certain mutual obligations. They dont bite us and we feed them. They stay at our homes and we dont eat them.

Funny though, how cats have a different effect on people than dogs. I know people in the rural areas that would shoot a cat for fun, but never a dog. Lots of people, mostly men, dont care for cats, but like dogs.

Ah, but I digress.

Wolf,
agree on the smarmy side smiley face.
