How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?

There’s a special place in hell for Vick!

Nerf has a bunch of stuff that shoot soft foam, enough to get their attention without hurting anyone or anything.

Best of luck.

The rack suggestions work. If for whatever reason a rack doesn’t work, I have had great success placing a piece of equipment that is not ventilated (like a tuner, streamer, power conditioner, tape deck, etc.) above the ventilated equipment with some risers to allow sufficient airflow for the ventilated equipment. If you don’t have such equipment or it is too bulky for this approach, just get a properly sized piece of wooden shelving and use that as a cover.

This approach also works well as a way to handle family members who persist in placing things on top of ventilated gear without being a constant nag.

animal torture and neglect is not funny

I had a cat once about 50 years ago, only once. and this is why,

I was laying on my bed listening to an album when all of a sudden the needle started to jump around!

Naturally I leaped up and saw that my now gone cat was pouncing on top of the dust cover of the turntable! it seemed that the spinning record label had something to do with this odd behavior.
