Can Vandy's get along with cats?


I'm currently a proud owner of a pair of Vandersteen 3A sig., and am considering getting a cat. I've held off up to this point because I'm concerned that the cat would shred the socks on the Vandersteens. It's a big enough concern that I have thought about getting different speakers. I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with cats and Vandersteens sharing the same space. Has this worked for anyone in the past?

Thank you very much,

Just an update: The story about an owner putting his can down after it did damage to his speakers (and other items) is 100% true. It wasn't my cat. They weren't my speakers. I'm simply relating a story. If it angers you I'm sorry.

Calling me names is out of line as I had nothing to do with it.

Cats are like children, you never know what your going to get, but for the most part, I have been lucky over the years and havent had much destroyed.

As for killing a cat because it damaged speakers, theres a special place in hell for people like that.
"Banana scented insense in the listening room? "

Yup, now you're thinking...

Seriously though, after being owned by many cats, the one consistency I've noticed is their dislike of bananas. Try it.
He didn't abuse the cat; he disposed of an unwanted cat, similar to the way unwanted children are aborted. :(
Indeed...disposal of unwanted children who mess with your speakers is similar to a heartless cat murderer. I hate it when a human embryo tears my speaker grills. Who wouldn't? I might try the banana defense against the next assault on my hifi by a wave of destructive fetuses (feti?) as it seems to work with cats. I learn SO much in this forum!
