Any tricks to keep cats away from speaker grills?

I have used double sided tape at strategic spots on furniture and speakers to deter cats - they hate the sticky feeling of the tape.

Cats ain't seen the speakers since Stanley, the German Shepherd arrived. One cat was my best listening partner, often found lying on her back in front of the right speaker, or beside me on the couch. Stanley prefers the floor between the speakers, next to the couch. All cats declawed in front, so no problem to begin with. I do have 2 gates so Stanley can't get in unaccompanied, as he sometimes likes to chew, and my fantasy is if the electric cords don't get him, I would. Oh yeah, cats are in basement family room with home theater. No problems there, but the ferrets liked the port in the subwoofer.

Try urinating on the grills, that way they'll know its someone else's territory (you've marked it).

Ezmeralda; I almost wet myself thinking about your post.

Only a stirred fried cat is a good cat!!
