Best audio cabinet for people with pets


I recently acquired a cat (wasn't really planning on this but this cat was a stray and is very friendly) and have decided to just keep her claws trimmed rather then have her declawed. I'm looking for recommendations for a cabinet to put my equipment in so the cat won't bother them. As for my speakers I've been putting a big piece of cardboard in front of the grill cloth at night and am looking for ways to protect them also. Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks, Bob

I don't let our dogs in the room with my equipment, It would be a hazard for the dogs and risk damaging the expensive equipment.
LOL you guys. My cat doesn't bother the equipment, but he IS on my lap trying to impregnate my arm while I am trying to listen to music.
Salamander has extruded metal corners that cats can't scratch like wood furniture legs. You can customize the racks too. Perf sides are great for hiding cables and still provide ventilation.

Another way to train your cat is to strategically place mouse traps upside down in the protected area. After a few triggers they don't explore that area anymore. The learning process can be quite entertaining as well ;)
Well I think I might have a solution; I will install folding doors at the 61" wide by 80" high opening to the listening room and keep them closed when I'm not around to watch the cat; will check Lowes and some of the other stores tomorrow. I had an appointment last week to have the cat's front claws removed but after reading about the procedure on the internet decided not to go through with it. Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
Bob,

Are you for real?? Removable doors 5' wide??

First, don't hit the cat, it won't bring about the change you want, if you want to deter them, get a good water pistol, few squirts, they learn quick, if you find it doesn't work, tape (scotch, packing etc) over clothe removal all the fun for cats scratching fabric. This has saved me many a cuch from the cats, and of note, they usually only like the angled parts, corners and such, so the tape lkely will not in any way affect the sound of your speakers, as for the components, anything with doors will be nearly 100%, for me my two cats don't go near the gear, so it's not an issues....

Now if I could assure the Great Dane wouldn't knock over speakers....
