You can't teach them not to do this, either.. too much instinct and not enough brains. That's why you keep rabbits in a cage outside. I suppose this guy found out the hard way.
btw, I caught my cats chewing on my speaker wires once. After a very effective but politically incorrect punishment, they never did it again. If he wants a furry critter around, he needs to get one with some gray matter between the ears.

Back about 15 years ago my cat decided to sharpen his claws on a new tower speaker I'd just finished. Seein that I was in test mode at the time I set up a pink noise generator and preset the volume for a considerable SPL's. Needless to say that cat was paranoid to even get near anything that resembled speakers after that

Back in my waterbed delivery days we had a customer who had bought a softsided waterbed and a big wall unit headboard with the touchstrip control for the lights...
One day she called and said the lights had gone crazy the night before while she was reading in bed, blinking on and off at random. She got all paranoid that something was going to catch fire and unplugged the lights and needed us to check it out.
Nearly an hour spent draining the bed enough to pull it away from the wall unit and get behind the headboard to check the lighting control module, and I find that the wire leading from the touchstrip to the control module is all chewed up and there's a very guilty looking cat lurking around...
Replaced the wire and tied it up so it wouldn't be a temptation. Showed the old wire to the lady and we managed to get a fair laugh out of it. But Ye Gods, what a hassle!
