How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?


We adopted a long-hair, one-eyed stray kitten. She is a very lovely cat, however, she likes jumping up on stereo equipment - tube preamp and mono block amplifiers. Am I right in thinking that cat hairs that fall inside the equipment can eventually fry things? Assuming so, I can't be the first person to have a cat AND hifi equipment. How do you keep the cat off? For the record she only jumps up there when she is alone in the room, so I think she gets that we don't want her up there, but just hasn't filed under "relevant info." I would greatly appreciate suggestions!

Smudge picked me, so it's hard to part with her. She has left my speaker grills alone. I try to leave a couple interesting boxes around and a paper grocery bag. The window sill is her favorite perch. She has a couple cat jungle gym type things and a scratching post in every room. It's not so much the turn table, but OMG, the printer!!!

Re-home the cat.

yep. When my last pet kick the bucket i was done.

Had a buddy going through same thing. Had these plexiglass contraptions around his gear. What a pain to listen to his system. When cat shuffled of to big sky he called it on pet ownership.

Everytime I talk to my sister on the phone we can go hardly chat a minute before she has to start yakking at one of the critters too. “STOP…….”

Another buddy cat just last week contracts diabetes. Med cost enough to buy a nice new amp every year.
