is it a straight cut or ragged?

Friend; kids don't come out with stuff like that unless deep down they know......

has the kitten suddenly gone black and crispy?

It's a clean cut where it's broken, but the coating rather than the wire was also cut a little further down about 1cm away.

Lol. No but the power was switched off.

He is certainly capable of it.

And you still let him in the house?

His Mum is a good friend of ours. So yes. If we didn't have that link then I don't think we would. He can be quite nice at times, but he's very sneaky when he's being evil.

Is she a good enough friend to pay for the damage?

Sorry...sounds like the friend to me too!

If I were a brave person,I'd tell the mum my concerns & ask her to have a word with him...I'm not,so I'd probably just make do with having a darned good moan behind their backs!

But in future,I'd say they can only play where they can be seen & put away any expensive toys/games.(don't know how old your boy is,I guess it's harder to tell an older child they can only have supervised play than it is a five & seven year old!)

My son will be 12 tomorrow so it would be difficult to enforce that rule.
If it could be proven that he was guilty, yes we would tell his Mum and she would replace it and make him pay for it out of his spends.
As it is impossible to prove either way, I will first try splicing the wire back together ( it appears to be a straightforward copper thread job) and if that doesn't work, I'll replace it.
Generally, I tend to 'play on the pc' if they are in his room as my office is just next door. Last time he was here though the weather was nice for once so I was in the garden....

We had a similar thing going on with the daughter of a friend of mine a few years ago

Nasty little *** was always trying to get my daughter in trouble too. I made absolutely no bones about it, she (the child) knew that I knew what she was up to, and that I thoroughly disliked it. I never allowed her to go off with my daughter out of my sight - the things they wanted to play with were brought downstairs, and taken back up later, or banned altogether. If the other child complained (which she did, incessantly) I just said "No, I can't afford any more 'mysterious' breakages"...
Kids are bloody 'orrible sometimes...

Yes they can be pretty horrid. I don't think he'll be round for a while anyway as last time he was here there was an issue with him spending my son's pocket money for him and then making off with ALL the bought items. He came back to fetch something he'd forgotten and OH told him in no uncertain terms that this wasn't good enough and made him go home and bring the stuff back. His Mum wasn't impressed as she had his version first and believed him.

So I think we are in the doghouse in that quarter. Suits me though.
