You are not alone. The struggle is real. Fortunately, for me, my cat likes to sit on my lap or my ottoman.
How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?
We adopted a long-hair, one-eyed stray kitten. She is a very lovely cat, however, she likes jumping up on stereo equipment - tube preamp and mono block amplifiers. Am I right in thinking that cat hairs that fall inside the equipment can eventually fry things? Assuming so, I can't be the first person to have a cat AND hifi equipment. How do you keep the cat off? For the record she only jumps up there when she is alone in the room, so I think she gets that we don't want her up there, but just hasn't filed under "relevant info." I would greatly appreciate suggestions!

@sid-hoff-frenchman Bonjour, mon ami! As a consummate lover of animals and having shared my home with 3 loving, beautiful Maine Coon cats and loving every blessed moment of it, I can say your kitty likes the warmth generated by your components. No matter how warm the ambient air temperature may be, kitties just love warmth. I would recommend covering your components with something that still lets the warmth or heat they generate dissipate and/or get your kitty some sort of heated pet bed or blanket that s/he will like better. Air horns and the like are cruel. Positive reinforcement and/or positive replacement behavior is much more effective. God Bless you for rescuing your furry friend. |
