cats and speakers - looking for clues

My wife and I took in an adult stray we named Charlie Sheen (he had a white patch under his nose...you get the drift) in 2012.  He was a good boy for the 10 years he ruled the house.  Then we rescued two kittens barely a month old in August 2023.  Dobby and Kossa have never shown interest in my numerous speakers, except Dobby runs into whichever room I'm playing music in to sit and listen.  To be safe, I contacted Digital Deck Covers. 

Absolutely phenomenal products and service.   Some speaker brands are already sized (JBL, Focal, Tannoy, Dynaudio, KEF, Wilson ), but you can do measurements off a template they provide and they will custom make you covers.  Take my advice and go with the Double-Sided Quilt Nylon material.   Pillow soft.  Slide on and off with ease and look great.  All mine are black.

I've had them make covers for my Klipsch Forte II's, Heresy's, KG 4's, Polk Audio 10B's, and most recently my KLH 5's.  When shipping me my KLH covers, they accidentally sent me a set of covers for a pair of Dynaudio Bookshelf speakers.  I offered to send them back, and they told me it was their mistake and to keep them.  The covers fit my Klipsch KG 1.5's perfectly.  The most expensive set of covers I've had made were less than $200.  The best audio related investment I've made in a while.

^^ +1 on Digital Deck Covers.  I have them for my sub, surround speakers, and laser printer.  I didn't use them for the mains because the cats might still like to work out on the cloth.  They don't like the mylar at all and have no interest in the mains.

@wsappington -- Did you go with the Cotton fabric on your Digital Deck Covers?  You said you didn’t get covers for your main speakers because the cats might like to work out on the cloth.  Wasn’t sure if you were talking about the cotton covers Digital Deck makes.  If you had elected the cotton, I was curious about the cotton thickness.  I really love the double quilted option.  Very nice.

My Father always used to say, “The only good cat, is a dead cat”

Mind you he may have had a point….. He used to race pigeons.

However, a dog he had a different view with it being “man’s best friend”  The ones he had (unlike cats) were very useful. They looked after the cats that were out for the birds, and all the rats that were out for the pigeon corn.

He was never into audio, but his dog barking meant it was doing its job, and was music to his ears

@allenf1963 I went with the cotton fabric, I don't remember there being another option when I bought them in 2013.  Maybe there was.  But anyway, it's quite thick and robust, and claws may not have been able to get through it to the speaker grilles, but I didn't want to take a chance.  I knew the mylar would discourage them from even trying, the cloth, maybe not so much.  Plus, I already had the mylar so the main speaker guards were free, the cloth covers were $60 - $70 each, IIRC.
