"...Pet Free..."

Cats like warm spots. I had to train my cat to stay off my Levinson 33's and 33H's. Cat dander can easily get through cooling vents in anything a cat may lay on.

For me, I cover all my components when not in use, this aids in cleaning, and prevents dust buildup inside. An easy habit to get into, and really helps keep the componients looking like new.

Best,

well i can see where some buyer's get freaked out about pet's,i have seen quite a few pic's of gear where the seller thought it would be a good idea to take pic's of the gear he was selling with a cat laying on top of it :(

i think they also believe that we all let our animal's run amock & piss & fart all over our gear,my pooch wont even walk within 5 feet of any of my gear.

Bigjoe - too funny!!! Yes, now that everyone metions it, I have read multiple posts about kitty's snuggling up to equipment. Beemer, I'm like you. I keep my equipment in my office with a lock on the door. I have too <4 yr boys and two dogs. I just want to keep my equipment safe from EVERYONE - my wife, my nieces and nephews, baby sitters, etc.

Has anyone had any experience with a pet ruining a piece of equipment? I'll bet there's some funny stories there.

I remember reading recently in an Audiogon thread where an owner's male dog lifted his leg on his tube amp. I can't remember if anything happened to the dog, but the amp suffered a fried board.

i read a post a while back where some one's cat puked on their preamp & it sounded better after the cat ralphed on it,what was even better was that another guy(i think jax)was squeezin his cat trying to get it to puke on his preamp for the tweek!
