cats and speakers - looking for clues

My very first set of quality speakers in 1975 was the victim of a cat the first wife wanted.

the grills were completely destroyed one day when I got home from work.

As I am not a cat fan to start with, the cat experienced a situation that these days would have either made it a YouTube star, or have me arrested.

We lived five stories up on a hill. We had a balcony door.

Somehow the cat showed up four hours later pawing at our front door.

That in itself proved to me the cat was smart enough to know better than to destroy my speakers.

Had to crate it and let it go. The first wife was not too far behind the cat. Fortunately she used the front door to depart. Only dogs since then, with no issues.

It works great

I have two active cats but I keep the grills off. Never had a problem. My cats love to come listen with me. The combination of having a cat purring on my lap while I relax to music is special to me. No humans want to sit and hear my system, and I'll take what companionship I can get!

Invest in a couple of scratching posts at Walmart or Petsmart, put one in the area where your system is located, and your speakers and furniture will be safe. Also, get a claw clipper for cats, and clip them every 2 to 4 weeks. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that show how it's done properly.
