[Elecraft] Cables and Animals

In commercial installations where much of the equipment is racked we'd
occasionally find a dead cat or rat hanging on a cable or on the floor
underneath. They either chewed or they climbed a cable and their claws
penetrated the insulation of a wire carrying mains voltage or HV from some
other source. 

Of course puppies love to chew on anything chewy. Cable carrying voltage can
be very dangerous for curious pets.

I had a cat who would bite telepne cables and computer mouse cables in two
if she felt you weren't giving her proper attention.  Beware!
