Magnepans and cats, do they mix?

I had some MG-1s, purchased 'used' which a series of cats NEVER LOOKED AT TWICE. The original owner claimed he 'treated' them with something....I simply don't remember what, it was 25 years ago and the cats simply ignored 'em.

If I get another cat, you can be sure my new 1.6s will get the citrus treatment. or maybe barbed wire and a mine field.

funny post that may help

my favorite is the stick with a nail

I think they will see them as giant scratching posts. Other than SPCA/PETA approved ways, maybe you can make some covers for them.

It's been said that Cat Stevens used Maggies for mastering a couple of his albums. Maybe there is some mystical connection.

Several speakers and (very sadly) several cats ago, I had a pair of MG-1s. For a couple of weeks after setting them up, I sprayed a bunch of rags pretty heavily with the stuff that supposedly smells repellent to cats (can't remember the brand name), and used them to surround the bases of the speakers. For those weeks, the house looked a bit like an early scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but I ended up never having to spray the speakers themselves, and the cats stayed away from them for years, despite their fondness for demonstrating creative woodworking and upholstery skills on the rest of our furniture.

If your worried about cats and speakers , don't have a cat or don't have the speaker. My cats don't mess with my gear ??? BTW having your cats claws
removed is criminal in my opinion. Cats don't have claws because they don't
need them.
