Does anyone know of a cable manufacturer that produces general purpose computer power cables/HDMI/DVI/EVERYTHING ELSE that are similar to pic related?
I have a fucking cat that chews through FUCKING EVERYTHING FUCCCCKKK. Been dealing with this problem for fucking years. I need a solution.
Looking for metal armored cables
>>61851476
lock up your shit dumbass
your cat is literally smarter than you, consider suicide
Order some benzaldehyde online. It's the thing that makes bitter almonds taste bitter. You can also just look for the extract of bitter almonds too.
Apply to the cables. That's it.
>>61851476
Get rid of the cat, on the plus side your house will no longer smell like urine
>>61851476
get rid of the cat, faggot.
why would a grown ass man own a cat?
>>61851500
>>61851495
>>61851509
Can't get rid of wife's cat. Little shit is neurotic, will even chew cables that have been treated with bitters. I currently have every exposed cable in my house wrapped with steel wire and zip ties. It's functional but ugly. The only deterrent is to make the cables strong enough to break the little fucker's teeth.
>>61851511
>grown ass man
You're making a lot of assumptions there bruh, did you forget you're on /g/?
test
>>61851532
>Can't get rid of wife's cat
the fucking state of you
Clone the cat, release army in metal factory. Instant evil genius.
>>61851532
Just fucking poison the fucker. Cats are chaos incarnates and don't deserve to be kept care of.
>>61851532
Then it would be more economical to buy long lengths of thin conduit.
Don't hurt the goddamn kitty. It probably has a deficiency in its food supplement making it act this way.
>>61851476
there are tons of these on amazon you fool
>>61851569
I was thinking that... But running the four miles or so of wire that I have in my house through steel/aluminum conduit is just a fucking pain in the dick.
Do metal cables exist?
>>61851578
The little shit goes to the vet more than I go to the doctor.
It's on a special fucking cat food. 35$ a fucking bag.
>>61851592
I just spent half an hour scouring amazon. I purchased the pic in OP. I'm looking for power cables and HDMI cables, specifically. Couldn't find any.
>>61851596
>Do metal cables exist?
there's a ton of that shit on amazon
>>61851596
Sure, metal braided (a better word to use instead of "armored" in your searches) exist. But I'd sooner accept the bother of conduit than replacing all my cables with expensive braided shit.
>OP is literally pussywhipped
>>61851476
You're fucking retarded OP. Just punish the cat everytime he does it. After enough punishment he'll know not to fuck with you.
>>61851596
>The little shit goes to the vet more than I go to the doctor.
>It's on a special fucking cat food. 35$ a fucking bag.
Imagine getting THIS cucked by a dumb pet.
>>61851632
Money isn't really a problem for me. Time is.
>>61851643
It's called having a functional relationship. Y'know... making compromises for your loved ones. You'd know this if you weren't a basement dwelling foreveralone faggot.
>>61851632
This, id run conduit where needed and route the rest through walls.
>>61851650
What he's describing is extremely common for cats. The expensive food is usually for bladder or kidney stones/crystals. They're meant to hydrate from the blood and tissue fluids of their prey but in homes they don't drink enough. Mostly because idiot owners don't move the water far away from the food bowl and set it up with a recirculating fountain. (They're idiots for not bothering to research. I don't begrudge them the lack of instinctual cat care knowledge.)
>>61851666
Yeeaahhh... I'm probably just going to hire someone to do that. D: I'll reach out to a contractor for solutions. Maybe some wire-running specialist or some shit.
Use plastic piping and run the wires through it
>>61851657
Make her do it. But hey fair enough. Happy shopping.
>>61851657
pure cuck right there
>>61851532
>my wife's cat
That's a new one.
>>61851698
Hey man, I've got happiness. Sounds like you're a miserable cunt. kys.
>>61851733
>driven to the the point you're considering killing a pet
>Hey man, I've got happiness
>>61851774
Hyperbole:
exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
>You --> Faggot.
So yeah, metal braided Universal Power Cables don't exist.
I know the pain OP, just had to replace another Ethernet cable due to cat antics.
>>61851860
>>61851860
>>61851860
OMG YES! THIS EXACTLY!
There has to be some manufacturer out there that make pet proof cables.
>>61851708
What a cuck
>>61851879
I've simply started running cables along the ceiling where possible and using clear tape along the areas closer to the floor.
I thought this section was safe under a chest of drawers but the little bastard apparently managed to get under there.
I've gone through 5 USB cables, 3 RCA cables and 6 Ethernet cables in the past ~12 months.
>>61851944
This has been my only solution. It stops her, but... Fuck man.
>>61851596
>It's on a special fucking cat food. 35$ a fucking bag.
Let me guess. Some soft animal food. Feed your cat with hard food, crisps. Cat needs something to chew on.
>>61852468
No they don't. You can feed them a raw diet and they'd love you. You're just spending $10-20 a week on feeding your fucking cat.
>>61852468
Nope. It's a voodoo blackmagic hard food. Cured the bloodshits.
>tfw had the maximum density of 6 cats at the same time in my house and never had a single cabel bitten
i dont know how people do this, everyone around me is crying about their cats eating the cables, and they have to lock them in separate rooms or hide the electronics when they dont use them.
>>61852758
It just varies from animal to animal. I've seen nine simultaneous cats and never heard that cables were getting frayed. I've also seen a single chihuahua attack them like a maniac.
For power and ethernet cables it's probably easiest to buy the bulk cable, run it through some metal shower hose, and terminate it yourself.
>>61852758
I've got two cats >>61851860
one chews through cables the other doesn't at all.
Get some thick ass plastic conduit
>>61852850
I kid you fucking not... I tried that already. She chewed through it.
>>61852850
Only thing that has worked so far is pic related
>>61852071
>>61852871
step up your game
>>61852907
How do you get the plug end through something like that? D:
>>61852925
You don't. You buy it in bulk and terminate it yourself after you put the run in place.
>>61852850
all of my this
either that, or route all of your cables in pvc or some shit.
>>61851532
>my wife's cat
top cuck
>>61851733
Your cat cucks you, that has nothing to do with basement-dwelling-faggots. Even these guys are smarter than you as it seems.
>muh satisfifififng life
Of course.
>>61853011
I'm not sure I understand this common troll... What's wrong with looking out for your wife instead of being a complete dickhead?
>>61853042
cant handle the banter
Spray your cables with a cat repellent.
Coat your cables in bitrex or one of those super-bitter 'don't eat me' products.
>>61853061
My bad, I forgot that 4chin is full of insufferable autist faggots.
>>61853101
LOL xD you fucking faggot.
Spray the cat with a cat repellent
>>61853117
Am I wun uv you guize noa?
>>61851476
The cats death is inevitable:

Spray your balls with a cat repellent
Poor taste,
your cat for eating the cables,
you for letting destroy your cables because your wife doesn't stop the cat and you for letting your wife stop you in destroying the cat.
Dude grow some balls and spray them with cat repellent (and the cables too)
>>61853161
The same could be said about your mom.
>64 posts
>30 posters
OP's not only getting cucked by the cat.
>>61853250
Spray your mom with death repellant
>>61853258
DELID DIS
>>61851532
Clap your hands right at his head whenever you see him chew cables, treat him well othervise, if you had done this since he was small you wouldn't have had this problem.
>>61851532
Spray him with canned air. Leave the can near the cables he chews. He will learn to fear it.
>>61852956
fucking niggers
Rub lemon/orange wedges on them. Apparently cats fucking hate the smell and taste of citrus.
>tfw my cat scares easily and his default hiding spot is behind my speakers in spite of dozens of better spots within eyesight
cats and technology are an odd mix.
Train your fucking animal you idiot
>>61853788
>train
>cat
>>61851476
Just poison your wife's cat OP. She'll be sad for a day or two but cuddle with her and she'll get over it. Just spray it with some Permethrin based tick and flea repellent and the cat will seize up and die. Do it right before she goes to work, or if you're going on a trip so there is no chance she can take it to the vet to be safed. Then talk her in to getting a dog or some other pet which isnt as faggy.
>>61851476
>>61853796
Only possible if you aren't retarded.
>>61853796
You need an IQ of at least 120 to train a cat, sorry about that boss.
>>61851532
>wife's cat
>>61851476
taser the cat to death and say it bit a cable and electrocuted accidentally. make sure to hit it in the mouth to amp your plausible deniability.
>>61851476
Expose high voltage cables, wifey doesn't get mad 'cause cat did it to itself
>>61855562
lmao this fucking board
>>61851476
> owning a cat
> giving a fuck if your retarded predatory beast with disease claws, fangs and toxoplasmosis fries itself on a wire because it can't stop being an asshole and destroying things.
> You actually want to keep this thing
You are the problem, anon.
We had rabbits. We don't have rabbits anymore. They were supposed to stay outside, but kids will be kids and they got inside. In less than 5 seconds they were on my wires and destroyed usb, audio, and ethernet cords with blinding efficiency. Not the AC power cords though. >=(
>>61851538
>YOU'RE NOT A MAN IF YOU OWN THIS PARTICULAR TYPE OF ANIMAL.
Are you a fucking ape? Are people seriously this simple?
>>61851567
You just haven't met a nice one yet. Give them a chance. I'm glad I did.
>>61857174

Buy monster â„¢ brand cables, they are indestructible and over the best connection and audio/video quality.
Have you thought to lay out some dummy cables you don't care get fucked? Maybe if you spray some catnip on it or something, it will just go for that cable only?
>>61857257
And I'd do it again too. These little jerks bring me peace, even though this one completely destroyed my Crossfire cable
>>61853796
Why would you keep a wild animal as a pet? It is both cruel to the animal and a strain on the owner. If you need a pet get something that was actually created for that purpose such as a dog.
where did all these cat haters come from?
>>61851567
this but change cats to humans
>>61857535
it's normies.
>>61857425
Of course they do. Your brain has been fundamentally altered to be comforted by things you should perceive as dangerous. Its part of how cats hunt.
>>61851532
>wifes
>implying
Cats are great
Run your cables through shower hoses.
>>61851657
>loving someone
haha what a cuck
>>61851476
step up your game and get some capsaicin-based repellant. kitty will get a five-alarm mouth fire and learn to leave them alone. consider getting a shock collar too. and for the love of god, pic related and tell them about the behavior issues. if all else fails, find a behaviorist or contact animal planet and get on my cat from hell.
>>61857257
that's a bullshit fear
your cat must be actively hunting rats and there are some other conditions I forget
you're much more likely to get toxoplasma from the environment, from you fucking veggies even if you wash them, etc
>>61851476
>having a cat
Found your problem
>>61858667
except nothing you said is true.
OP, this will solve all your problems, but I doubt you'll actually do it.
Play with your cat.
>>61851683
>buy water dish for outdoor cat
>change it twice daily
>it drinks sludge out of the bird bath instead
>>61857174
People who "haven't met a nice cat" are the kind of people who act like total assholes to a cat and then get surprised when the cat is a total asshole back. You can get away with it with dogs, because they're bred fully domesticated and will take unreal levels of abuse from humans before snapping. Cats aren't and don't.
>>61859079
Oh, and btw. Learn how to play with it first.
>>61859173

>>61851476
Just get cable covers and secure them down with some double sided tape that won't damage your surfaces.
>>61852871
Place a ton of cheap cable everywhere. Cat can't chew everything at once. Put one of the cables at mains voltage.
Give the motherfucker a 220v live wire to chew.
See if the motherfucker likes it.
>>61859112
hehe. similar to my cat. have two nice water dishes that hold a gallons worth of water in the house.... fucker instead loves drinking out of the toilet. she'll drink out of the water dishes but only when i barricade the fucking bathroom.
i really don't get it either. i clean my toilet with straight up bleach once a week. its always spotless so it can't be because of something she finds flavorful in there.
>close the lid
shes mastered the lid. i'm just waiting for her to figure out how to open doors.
>>61857535
i always assume people like that had a cat hiss or scratch them when they were toddlers and they've been salty ever since.
>>61858076
