I've only ever heard this one story about a dog messing with gear. Cats seem to piss on climbing gear on a daily basis. Do a search, you'll see.
Only boy cats do this. They are marking their territory.
Funny story: Before Tiff and I were married I was staying over her place and left my bag in the hallway. Her roommates cat then proceeded to think that my bag and the clothes inside were his "territory." Got up the next morning and got dressed. We were helping a friend move that day. We get done for the day and i start to wonder what that smell is that i have been smelling ALL day (not to mention the yellow stains on my shirt). Upon closer inspection, I realize that it's cat pee and I have been wearing it all day.
I threw out the shirt, but wanted to save the bag. After multiple washes with soap and vinegar, I ended up tossing the bag, too. That's the last time I ever left anything in the hall.

Actually, our female cat pees quite a bit inside; it's fucking obnoxious. We keep her in the basement at night, and presumably the previous owners had a dog or cat that peed in the corners quite a bit; our cat took this as being all right to do the same, and I had to completely tear up the carpet, repaint and seal the floor, and redo the walls to get the smell out. And she still pees down there every once in a while; it's just easier to clean up now.
Furthermore, on at least one occasion, she has noticed that we are packing to go on a climbing trip, and out of pure spite for us leaving, has peed ON A CRAG PACK.
Cats are vindictive assholes, way more than dogs.
Anyone want a free cat?
