Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker


So my wife adopts a cat and now my speaker choices are more limited. Using at present a Plinius 8200mkII (175 watts)and have been using Joseph AUDIO RM7 mK11. Am looking for floorstanding speakers with speakers and grills well out of reach of a cat or another monitor that is special, a "step up" from the Josephs. Room is about 17 x 13 with hardwood floors and not a tremendous amount of absorbent furniture (which I know will impact on anything I get), speakers will be along the long wall, Also speakers need to be relatively easy to move for listenig or not more than 12-18 incles off the back wall (which is actually floor to ceiling bookcase). Thinking of Spendor sp1/2, harbeth compact 7 (which would be slightly more than my upper $ limit used), Totem Forest. Will be looking for these speakers used. Your help would be greatly appreciated, and no my wife will not consent to have the cat de-clawed.

Ok guys, I know no speaker is "cat safe", but I would really appreciate your input about particular speakers in my situation, thanks
Thanks, I now have some great ideas to cover the speaker which I had not thought of before, But what about speaker suggestions to take care of my upgrade neurosis? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I was strongly considering the Spendor 1/2's but heard they need to be much further out from the wall...any thoughts?
I think that if I have the speakers on stands like the Spendors or have speakers high up on a column like the Totem's this cat's not going to jump up on them. With that, my room as described, and with the Plinius, any other suggestions? Thanks
So if I did not have a cat (no, I have not killed it) now that I have some good tricks to keep the cat away from your suggestions, what speakers would you suggest, thank again
