I've never seen a cable company's manual say "We don't mind if your pets try to chew through our cables. Feel free to let your pets use them as a chew toy, as they are impervious to sharp teeth."
I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but
bigshot meant to look at the construction and materials used to make the cable.
EDIT: Oh, beaten to it...alas, this thread does remind of the time the big DBT testing results between a Radio Shack cable, silver, and copper cable came about, and how many thought the RS one was the best, and many switched silver and copper around (pertaining to the said "sound signatures" of said cable types).
