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!
I don't have a cat, but I cover my amplifier with a cover from Stan at Radio Dust Covers. https://www.radiodustcovers.com/

We currently have three cats, so I empathize with your situation. We've tried lots of different solutions over the years, but have had very good results with "Pet MasterMind Claw Withdraw Cat Spray". It comes in a small pump spray bottle in either 4 or 8 ounces (get the larger size!) On equipment with top vents, I spray it kinda sideways so it doesn't go down into the vents. Leaves no visible traces, and has a slight lemony scent. They claim it lasts several days, but I generally use it daily. Cats definitely don't like it - they jump up and immediately down again. Fortunately, most cats learn quickly: after 3 or 4 days, they won't get up there anymore! Hope this helps - good luck! |
