Cat owner wants speakers


Lately I've been looking at new speakers, but I'm nervous about some designs that might attract the attentions of our cat. Cremonas have those scintillating strings in front, Vandersteens have the sock extending all the way to the floor, Zen Adagios have a front port that a cat would probably like to sleep in. I hate to diqualify otherwise nice speakers because of the potential damage a 6-pound cat might do...I'd appreciate suggestions anyone might have tried to protect their speakers, or discourage the cat. Or, other speakers to consider?

My wife values the cat more than she values me, so I probably shouldn't try to Velcro the cat to the wall while I'm out, or similar ideas...thanks...

A tall scratching post or board (for horizontal scratchers) wrapped in sisal rope is a lot more fun to scratch than a grill sock.

Provide for that cat's scratching needs in the same room as the speakers and you're not going to have problems from his claws.

Put enough objects on top of the speaker and he won't jump up there either.
