Has a pet ever destroyed your game/hardware?

I don't think so, but I once had a dog that ran across my room and ripped my brand spanking new PS2 out of its shelf so it came crashing down on the floor when her legs snagged the controller chord. In hindsight it's more the chord's fault than the dog's. Good riddance to those things.

My cat chewed up my 3DS charger once before.

My puppy chewed through my genesis controller cord. My mom was quick to to tell me to put my stuff up next time, until our puppy chewed through a pair of her shoes. She got me some wireless infrared controllers after that.
and a note. Boxer puppies are waves of destruction when teething, so put up things that are important.

My cat chewed through the wired Wii sensor bar so I had to get a wireless which just destroyed my family's AAA\ battery supply. Ugh, I like kitties but...

I had a dog destroy a 3ds charger and another destroy a dual shock 3
My cat sliced a borrowed Wii motion sensor into ribbons as I was wrapping the wire around it. He couldn't resist. I immediately bought a replacement because I'm not an arsehole, unlike some "friends" who have borrowed stuff from me, broken it and refused to compensate me. One friend borrowed my DS, broke the hinge entirely but - because it still 'worked' - said he wouldn't give me more than £5 towards it. He gave me a £10 note and asked for change. Prick.
Back when I played FFXI on PS2 and 360 (2004~2008), my cat ruined 4 or 5 keyboards. I would lay across my bed and play, and I had a bad habit of putting my keyboard and controller on the floor when I was done playing (usually because I was on the verge of passing out and I don't like sleeping with shit in the bed). She puked up hairballs directly in the center of 3 or 4 keyboards over the course of the years. I often kept a cup of water on the nightstand beside the bed, and on one or two occasions she knocked the full cup over onto a keyboard below it.
I honestly think she was jealous over the amount of time I spent playing FFXI instead of petting her. She never targeted a controller or anything else, but she ruined more than her share of keyboards.

Back in the 80's, we had a bird that nibbled the rubber start and select buttons on our NES controllers down so as to be flush with the plastic. Still worked, you just had to press harder.
I used to have a 27" tv with a ps3 right infront of it on my desk, one day when I was out (and i guess i forgot to close my bedroom door), my dog jumped on my bed and then on top of my desk and knocked my tv right into the corner of my ps3, my tv cracked and I had to get a new one.
I really don't know how that happened tbh, that's the scenario I came up with when I got home that day finding my tv broken.

My cat would walk around and lay on top my PS3. She'll get on the ground and start walking around my PS3 charge cord (the one that came with the $70 AV cables) and she puts it in her mouth and chews. I only catch her when the cords already in her mouth. All my charge cords have teeth marks. It's frustrating, but she'll push it off the dresser if I put it somewhere. She also likes to knock my controllers on the ground.

Yup, mistakenly left my cartridge for Harvest Moon: A New Beginning on my desk. Came back home and my girlfriend's dog had mauled it to pieces. Didn't care so much about the game, but my save file with over 90 hours of play was on there. Not the best game for the dog to chew :/

my cat has chewed the cables of, and rendered inoperable...
-2 Wii nunchuck controllers
-1 Wii AC adapter/power cord
-1 Wii U gamepad charge cable
-Xbox 360 wired controller
-the original keyboard that this computer first came with
-and multiple cell phone chargers
no amount of admonishing seems to deter her, storing away any non-essential wired items is the only thing that works. I fear for the day when electronic peripherals no longer sate her thirst, for when only the flesh of man will quell within her the rage that stirs and craves only destruction.

A puppy German Shepard of mine chewed the xbox one HDMI cable, then she chewed out the left stick off one of my 360 controllers, then she chewed on my last good 360 headset -_-
We no longer have the puppy

I was playing SOCOM one night, and my controller stopped working. My puppy ate through the cord while I was playing. Bitch.

Yes. I recently had my dog destroy a pair of 300$ iem ear buds. I had them for like a year and a half but the worst part was how my girlfriend got upset when I bought them without telling her. She said I would lose them or destroy them, she was right. I loved those things. Can't bring myself to buy another pair. Damn..

Not yet, but he has tried to chew cables before.
Glad I do not have a dog though...

Nope. My wife's cat learned quickly to stay away from the entertainment center, and the kitten hasn't been an issue with cables surprisingly given that she gets into everything else.
She does sometimes run off with my stock PS4 earphones though.

My pup chewed through three controllers when he was still teething.
He was such a destructive asshole then.

When I was a kid playing my NES, my dog, when he was a puppy, randomly ran into the living room, and chewed on either the AC adapter or the RF switch. Needless to say, the picture went off the screen, and it was game over for a little bit until a replacement was bought. I was so sad....I was glad my Dog was ok, but wanted to choke him for ruining my game playing. RC Pro-Am I believe I was playing at the time. XD

I had a cat pee on my NES, it survived. Smelled real bad though.
When I was in the 7th grade, my friend lent me her Game Boy. That evening, while I was working on homework, our stupid dog got into the house (she was in outdoor dog because she was very destructive) and out of all the things she could have found to play with, she chose my friend's Game Boy on the kitchen table. She took it outside and made a chew toy out of it.
Later on in the evening, I came upstairs to the table to find a thoroughly chewed Game Boy.... I guess my dad took it away from her or something. She really did a number on it, but as you might guess from the classic brick Game Boy, it still worked and was playable. I used sandpaper to diminish the tooth marks, but there was only so much I could do. I felt humiliated when I returned the Game Boy the next day.
A few months later she gave me the Game Boy for Christmas. She wasn't much of a gamer anyway, and only had one because it was given to her by somebody who had dropped it in the tub and didn't think it would work anymore.
I still have the Game Boy and it still works. Those things were TANKS.

I had a puppy that chewed through my duke Xbox controller. Thankfully my parents were nice enough to buy me a new controller, and it ended up being the controller S so that was an upgrade, even if I still missed having a duke.
Other than that, none of the pets I've had chewed through cables.

Our dog ate my Christmas Nights into Dreams game CD. :/ Years later I got another copy on eBay thankfully.
Don't tell me that! I've been considering getting the Gold as replacement for my Silver so I don't have a wire ... lol

My pet beagle when I was a kid ate my Power Glove. I wasn't too upset at the time. Now I look back on the event with great sorrow.
