...then cocking its leg and spraying any new wooden objects in its territory..

I would say LOL but I guess you wouldn't have felt like laughing when that happened, GUEST. I would be pretty p***ed off.

Never happened to me, but we were a bit concerned at a pub gig a few weeks ago, when the pub's tomcat kept going under the small table where we had put the sound desk. Underneath the table were a lot of electrical gubbins, and having cats ourselves we were a little concerned that the tomcat might want to assert his ownership of his territory in the way that cats do, causing an explosion in the process :-)

Luckily when we mentioned it to the landlady she locked it away in the back room (or somewhere).
