I hope your cat is declawed for your speakers' sake. One minute of inattention can cost you a driver. I learned the hard way several years ago and will never make this mistake again. I'll stick to measuring audio quality with my own ears :)

Measuring audio quality with your cat
I have a cat who loves to jump up on the back of my listening chair and listen to jazz but she is quite discriminating about the quality of the sound (or so it seems to me) She generally flees from "noise" like the vac and ignores sound from the TV and even CD's but if I play high resolution audio on my DAC or analog that quickly gets her attention. My theory is that cats are naturally predisposed to be interested in sound that has lots of locational information. So if a mouse they can't see, is making noise, they can position it based on the sound. But if a CD or TV has all its sound eminating from a direction that provides little infomation about 3d movement, this is uninteresting. Anyone have a similar experience?
