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!
My bud George and I discuss this sensitive topic regularly. He's a good dude, respects my stuff so long as I respect his. Also depends on what I'm playing. He'll sit with me for a listen so long as I'm playing Steely Dan, or Bill Evans but will leave the room if Suicide Silence, Sanguisabogg, or The Melvins are on. I did have a massive folded low end cab he used to like to sleep in. I've been lucky I guess. |
@charliech that subreddit is pure gold, thank you for that. |
I would keep my stereo equipment in the room it has always been in for many years, but now, where my stereo equipment is, I also keep a stick vac, or an upright vacuum cleaner closer to the vacinity of the equipment as well, though it is not plugged in when I am not using it, but when I am cleaning, watch out, when it is running, they don’t want to be in the same room it’s in when it is running. |
