When pets go bad

This thread was inspired from another thread (http://www.nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2433) where mare_idol discusses her cat throwing up on her booklet from the Haysi Fantayzee album. I wondered if anyone else's pets ruined anything from their fine new wave collections? My cat ruined a few of my 45's (clawed at the spines on my Human League and Intaferon singles specifically), but I'll never forget seeing her punch her claw through the flexidisc of "Wrong Again" by Squeeze (this was a holy grail type item to me that I paid big bucks for, and all I could do was an Adam Sandler type "nooooooooo" in slow motion as I saw it happen). I put the disc on the turntable right after it happened, hoping any damage was superficial, but the needle got lodged in the hole she poked her claw through. My kitty was the best pet I ever had (she's been gone for a year now), but she had some serious issues with new wave.

When my girlfriend brought her baby raccoon home, the first thing the cute little bugger did was rip to shreds all the newspaper clippings I had in my closet. Lost all my concert reviews of concerts I went to in the 80's.

I have to say though that o

A pet RACCOON? Don't those mean little bastards rip the faces off of dogs and such? I didn't know that they were able to be domesticated.

Sleep with one eye opened! We actually have raccoons in Brooklyn and these are a horror! It's the last thing you want to see when throwing out the garbage at night.
