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!
@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. |
I was at a friends house recently. There were snakes on his car outside! Well, it turned out they were rubber snakes that he placed there. He said he read that they keep squirrels away and it worked! (Squirrels did $3000.00 worth of damage to one of our cars years ago). I have no idea if inside cats would be deterred but it's worth a try. Let me know if anyone tries this with good results. Joe |
