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!

trade your cat for a rabbit.  rabbies are as smart as tabbies. just as clean.  

@oliver_reid ​​​​@roxy54            Right, how true!   I never had any children either and certainly don't regret it.  Those lovely warm moments are few compared with the s*it that gets handed down.

I can also tell the environmental namby-pambies that I saved the world and they should shut up their self-righteous nonsense.  Their progeny will be here for ever, in quickly multiplying numbers.  My footprint will be terminated when I am.

Personally, not a cat lover, however if you are, great! My past experience was with cat pee. The warmth of the equipment is usually the draw. A lot of good ideas presented here, but not knowing the home circumstances (wife and/or kids love the cat), IMO the best advice that's been given, is to find a new home for the cat. Cat pee in/on stereo equipment would make my priorities clear.
