Some interesting comments here, and actually a few good ideas too. You would think with computer programs like PawSense that auto-detect cat-like typing and prevent data loss that someone would market a line of audiophile yet cat-deterring products. Cats also love to jump atop spinning turntables and swat the tonearm, but tables are easier to hide in a cabinet. Well, at least kitty grew out of chewing on AC power cords-- THAT was a BAD habit.
