Own Magnepans? Got Cats?


Just got two 14-week-old Pixie-Bob (bobcat cousin) brother & sister kits, and they're now loose in the house... So, to protect my prize 1.6's, I made anti-climb covers for them; simple, cheap & easy to place & remove. One 4x8' sheet of 1/8" thick black foam-core board from the local art supply store made a pair of protectors for the 1.6 (and with zero scraps).

Cut the 4x8' sheet in half to make two 4x4's, score vertically at given points with a sharp mat knife to about 3/4 of the foam-core's depth, bend to a box shape, wrap around the speaker fronts, and use stick-on hooks in the back to connect where the edges meet. I also cut small square holes where the cables enter. The "boxes" are 20" wide and 4" deep. (If these cats decide they want to jump higher than four feet, I guess I'm in trouble.)

Email me for photos of the finished product if interested (I'll send a pic of the kitties, too).

I put high voltage mats in front of the system. When they walk on the they get an unpleasant Zap. Not dangerous at all. That trained the cat in short order. That part of the room is just not fun:-)
I was once at a party of a host who was fostering  kittens.  I vividly remember a kitten leaping from the floor, digging her claws into one of those folding room dividers about 4’ off the floor, and the divider fall over (kitten of course was fine).

I wish you luck.
