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!

yep. When my last pet kick the bucket i was done. Had a buddy going through same thing. Had these plexiglass contraptions around his gear. What a pain to listen to his system. When cat shuffled of to big sky he called it on pet ownership. Everytime I talk to my sister on the phone we can go hardly chat a minute before she has to start yakking at one of the critters too. “STOP…….” Another buddy cat just last week contracts diabetes. Med cost enough to buy a nice new amp every year. |
My bud George and I discuss this sensitive topic regularly. He's a good dude, respects my stuff so long as I respect his. Also depends on what I'm playing. He'll sit with me for a listen so long as I'm playing Steely Dan, or Bill Evans but will leave the room if Suicide Silence, Sanguisabogg, or The Melvins are on. I did have a massive folded low end cab he used to like to sleep in. I've been lucky I guess. |
