My cat did.

It caused quite a flash in her mouth, tripped all the breakers.

I don't know what's in Apple wires but cats seem to prefer them.

Just incredible. I suspect they can somehow measure the electric field strength by the vibrissa to don't play with dangerous voltage. The capabilities may vary though.

We knew mice would eat the insulation off the wires, so we get samples of all the wires that were available and put them in a cage with a bunch of mice to see which insulation they did not like. We only used wire that passed the mouse test."

True story: I just (today) bought a gadget off Amazon and after I opened it I caught the cat trying to chew the wire.

I put it back in the bad out of reach and half an hour later I caught her trying to get into the bag.

When I went to use it? It didn't work.

This is now the wire on my brand new gadget:


So, yeah, this is something manufacturers need to test for.

nb. She does the same with Apple wires... the wire she bit and tripped the breakers with was an Apple wire.
