Basically, don't think about stealing anything from Al.

Al, what do they do to visitors who don’t think your system sounds like a real orchestra

Looks like an Egyptian Mau with the gooseberry colored eyes and fur markings.

Actually, it is a striped British Shorthair. British Shorthairs are normally blue, but there are some alternate ones including tabby, striped and other colours.

the two Belgian malinois must be put away
the are protection dogs
very obedient and they go almost everywhere. you should see people’s faces when we get up from dinning out and they come out from under the table.
My wife is a trainer for all types of dogs. for our family they are very loving pets and well controlled.
in our homes you can keep them loose with guests but we feel given there capabilities and there protection training it’s not good.

every time I visit the ad pages of those who sell hi-fi equipment I find the term device kept in a no-smoking, no-pets apartment. You pass the phrase no smokers but I really don't understand why our furry friends, cats, dogs and other things need to change or alter the appearance or functionality of our devices. I like to tell an anecdote: I don't remember exactly in which particular recording I was listening there was a barking dog. At that point I saw one of my cats jump away from the sofa and run away in terror (normally they don't get scared even when they hear New Year's Eve fireworks and remain unmoved) …… Thinking with a cool head I thought that my system had achieved a truly high quality of timbre tones. I don't know how many of us are capable, like our animal friends, of hearing the negative differences in the sounds emitted by our beloved hi-fi systems…the next time I publish an advert for the sale of some hifi equipment I own I will point out that it is so good that it has made my dear cat friends love Mahler Beethoven and Bach and they have become true fans of symphonic music

Most dogs and cats shed fur. So I interpret that disclosure in an advertisement to indicate that a buyer should not be concerned that fur fell into open air vents in a component and landed on the circuit board.

I think one member here told us the sad story that his cat accidentally relieved himself/herself or became ill on his Boulder amplifier, resulting in a messy cleaning job.

If Lola wants to listen to the stereo, I carry her in and put her on the couch. (No paws or outdoor shoes are allowed on the listening room carpet.)

I had a cat departed now but a rescue
He loves to sleep on top of my large hp laser printer warmth I guess.
Then one day he released urine on top. hours and I could not take all parts apart
only choice but a new one
next a blanket on top just in case.
dogs and cats do mess up stuff no matter who says they don’t

Good morning, I don't really agree with these statements, no self-respecting domestic cat would do its business where it sleeps, it is certainly reasonable to think that the fur of our animal friends could contribute to dirtying and clogging up our hi-fi equipment, ( I myself have two small robots that go around the house all day taking care of vacuuming up everything they find) but rather than finding adverts indicating the non-presence of animals inside the house I would find it much more reassuring to find it written that the equipment for sale has received regular maintenance and continuous and constant cleaning. After all. Although I don't clean my house myself, I don't allow anyone to clean my hi-fi and I take care of it myself, which I do on a weekly basis. At this point, why not indicate that any appliance for sale has been kept in a smog free area, a much more harmful situation for our beloved appliances. I challenge anyone who lives in the city to declare something like this, moreover you can also live in a house where no one smokes but you cannot keep away what comes from the surrounding air, except for the very rare circumstance of being in a pressurized environment. Have any of you ever opened a computer or some other device kept for a long time in animal free environments... at best you will find it full of dust and probably with the presence of fluff inside. what I dispute is the connection made between the goodness of the device and the Animal free home, I might as well write: none of the occupants of the apartment have acid sweat.
