Op I feel for you, it's one of my biggest fear that my cat would make my tv fall haha!

Biggest damage he's done is eating through 3 headphones cords, he loves them! I've gone bluetooth now...

I still love that little fucker though.

Well the plasma has a glass screen, so it's much heavier and doesn't budge when he walks behind it. He would've had enough room had he just walked along the cabinet and behind it, but he was between the window and the curtains on the window sill and fell off at the end. The tv didn't even fall off, it just fell forward onto a PS3 controller. I didn't think anything happened to it until we tried to use it.

He knew he was in trouble because he avoided me for a couple of days. And tonight he's trying to be all lovey dovey and jumping on me and curling up on my chest.

My old cat knocked down an old sculpture at my grandma's place. That's all I can think of. That and he peed on my school bag once.


And lol at the dog owners acting all superior when dogs can be incredibly destructive animals.
 
I've had pets as long as I can remember. While I've had chewed cables, remotes, beds, holes in the wall one dog story does take the cake for me.

One day I had a friend over and we decided to go out and grab a bite to eat. This dog loved LOVED to go for rides in the car. She got excited because she could tell we were going out and spazzed out. I didn't let her go and we forced out way out of the house.

When I got home I go back to the living room where I had the GameCube. We had been playing Double Dash all day and we were trying to unlock the last few secrets. Anyways the Cube was set up on the floor and there is a massive dump right on top of it. Like 100% accuracy right on the top where the discs load. Vengeful bitch!

All part of the plan.


At the end of the day...

I had a dog pee on a computer I bought second hand with all the money I had saved for a year. It never came on again. I spent a year and a half without a PC.

Shouldn't you secure your TV so it doesn't fall over? Not just cats, but what if there is an earthquake or something?

When they were pups, my two dogs used my gameboy advance as a chewtoy. I set it down and they grabbed it.

It was weird though, half the screen worked, but the other half didn't. They chewed away the buttons though, so it was a moot point.

They also tried to chew my original Xbox, but that was too tough for them. (Easily the sturdiest console ever)

I had a dog that ate the metal siding off of an air conditioning unit. There was a day too where he was barking and barking, so my dad threw the sliding door open and yelled at it to shut up. It responded by running and jumping into the screen door, folding it like a taco. It also used to poop and then turn around and eat it. That was a strange dog.

My dog jumped up and knocked a motherboard off my table when I was putting together my first computer. Also knocked my TV off a stand when he was chasing the cat. Cost me like $350 in the end, but he was like 4 months old.

Pugs are so hard to train, guys. But the few cables and components I lost were worth it.
 
One of my cats, I have six, used my Wii U gamepad as a scratching post. Same cat managed to knock over my Wii U. She broke off the USB stick I had with all my Splatoon saves on it. 250 hours of play and gear all gone.
 
Warm fuzzy feelings really don't seem to be worth all this property damage.

Pets are actually somewhat expensive propositions to begin with. Especially if you're the sort to treat it like a member of the family and get all those (all too common) health concerns investigated and treated. While it's easy to get pissed about this shit when it happens, unless your pet is doing it regularly, it's not going to drastically increase the overall cost.

The real cost of a pet isn't monetary anyways. It's the time commitment.
 
I have 2 dogs.

My Beagle:
- Gnawed off my work laptop's charger wire
- Gnawed off my PS3's wire
- Urinated in my brother's bed
- Chewed my brother's wooden bed to the point that 1 of its legs will be likely to fall off one of these days

My Mixedbreed:
- Urinated on my bed for about 5 times already

I still love both anyway.
They give me joy. :)

My cat chewed up the charging cable for my Wii U gamepad and as such I have had an essentially useless Wii U for months now. Part of it is on me though, been too lazy to order a new one.
 
Least you didn't pay for it?
She bought it for her mother when she came home from the hospital on hospice (88years old). She didn't really have the money for it but was trying to make things easier at the time. It kind of makes me feel shitty for breaking it.

And yes, this cat is a spoiled pain. He's been on premium cat food and cat litter (so this place doesn't smell like a cat house) since we got him in aug 2012. He was fixed and gets his shots, but no medical troubles so far. He's got a cat tree and two scratching beds on it, and at least he avoids the furniture with his claws. He hates attention during the day, but at night he thinks it's snuggle time. And he likes be an alarm clock in the morning if crumbs are only left in his food bowl.

And Chinese vase.

Our macaw single handedly destroyed an entire room

the only way i can reconcile the shit cats do is make the assumption that they're generally very simple minded animals. It's either that or they're batshit malicious.

Back when I first got my Wii, my dog urinated on it.

We dried it out, cleaned it a bit to get rid of the smell and it continue to work fine and everything was fine and dandy.

Then he urinated on it again.

it's not your cat's fault. it's your fault. don't put anything near expensive stuff that they can climb into or knock things onto.

that's why despite owning 3 cats for the last 20 years i have never had anything expensive broken.

It's called a Wii for a reason. Dog was in the right to piss on it.

I have 3 cats and two very large dogs.

Yesterday one of the cats opened up the oven where we were storing a cheesecake to cool, crawled in, and ate a bunch of it. One of the other two constantly chews through cords to the point where we have to cover them with dish soap or use split tubing to cover them up (I've gone through three Wii U power supplies, 4 HDMI cables, and 4 Power banks for my router and/or modem in a year and a half). The other one used to piss on everything, but that went away when she was spayed, now she just will randomly try to start fights with the dogs.

Great Pyrenees is usually pretty good, except when he takes large human-sized shits on the carpet in the basement because he's made at us. Before he was neutered he would also pee on my work coat when I was new to the house because he was so possessive over my girlfriend.

Our newfie is generally pretty good. Slobbery, super hyper active, but good. Oh, she does love to eat cat shit though, even with covered litter boxes, she sometimes gets her head stuck in them. So there's that.

9/10 days they don't cause any real trouble, but both the dogs and the cats can be real jerks sometimes.

My puppy chewed through my phone charging cable, killing the phone. It wouldn't charge anymore. Apparently fried something inside according to the repair guy.

He also ran at a 6' standing mirror, knocked it off of its hook and shattered the whole thing. That messed up the hardwood.

Have had pets all my life so I could go on forever. I'll just keep it to recent stuff.

Every morning when I come out of the bedroom my cats are at the door waiting and meowing for their wet food. This morning the bigger one happened to be in the middle of taking a shit when I came out so he bolted out of the catbox with poop still hanging out his asshole and did a little buttshuffle run down the hallway flinging the turd into the wall.

I realize something physical wasn't destroyed,but it definitely destroyed my morning to have to pick that up before work.

My cat smashed my guitar. I guess it was partially my fault for propping it against the chair, but when I came back he was standing on it and the head was smashed.

And then he looked on me with a face that said "what?".

Other than taking a dump on a few year old carpet I can't complain about my dog. But that's only because I've spent a lot of time training him and bought him plenty of toys. Also it helps that he's older now so he's quite tired after a walk and isn't interested in fooling around.

My neighbour has a boxer and I wouldn't allow that dog inside my apartment. He's very friendly and all, but he destroys everything in his sight. His latest victim is a brand new sofa.
