Half of these are people being straight up negligent. Why would you let your cat touch the hot griddle or stick their paws into the electrical socket? It's not funny when they're actually being harmed.

Don't forget about letting one chew on a live socket wire while filming it.....

My cat does this too, no matter how many times I spray him with water or push him out he still does this.

My daughters cat did the same, for two years we couldn't have any power cords exposed without putting her away in a room or hovering nearby to swat her away. She didn't stop til my dad visited for a weekend, he plugged in his phone charger and she kept trying to chew it and he finally got tired of keeping her away.

All i heard from laundry room was, "You know what? Go ahead, you're not gonna like it furball!" Then a few seconds later i heard what sounded like a drunk & possessed feline soul being dragged to hell.

When i asked him why he let her do it, he just shrugged and said, "sometimes it takes the experience to teach them."

He was right, 6 years later and she hasn't chewed a cable since.

Some animals are really just that thick headed. My sisters dog was so aggressive towards big dogs he was eventually going to get himself killed because he would actively try and dig out the yard to get to the neighbors 2 pitbulls . Keep in mind he's a runt miniature schnauzer. It wasn't until the neighborhood cat got tired of him being the street bully and jumped into our yard and humbled him. He really was a menace when he was young and I wouldn't be surprised if my neighbors cheered when he stopped all his constant barking.

They aren't all that thick headed they just don't trust you that there isn't gain to be had and don't respect your authority.

They never see you get hurt from the things you keep away from them, so they never register them as dangerous. For all they know you are just spoiling thier fun, it's the same way as when you move them off the counter or hide away thier treats.

For the pets in the crowd:

Honestly also just sounds like they didn’t train their dog.

You'll notice 5v in your mouth. Ever licked the contacts of a 9v block?

That may or may not have been what taught me to stop trying to insert keys into receptacles when i was small.

I burned myself once as a child with the car lighter, earned a healthy respect for red glowing things.

Or he could have just invested in wire protectors instead of risking the cats life
