I've come up with a new idea. I bought a large sheet of clear plastic that is sticky on one entire side. I placed the sheet under the maggies. sheet is 24x36. My cats have touched the sticky sheet once! Once is enough. They avoid it like the plague!! Stay tuned as I'm still not 100% sold on any cat proofing (as mentioned by magfan).
Own Magnepans? Got Cats?
Just got two 14-week-old Pixie-Bob (bobcat cousin) brother & sister kits, and they're now loose in the house... So, to protect my prize 1.6's, I made anti-climb covers for them; simple, cheap & easy to place & remove. One 4x8' sheet of 1/8" thick black foam-core board from the local art supply store made a pair of protectors for the 1.6 (and with zero scraps).
Cut the 4x8' sheet in half to make two 4x4's, score vertically at given points with a sharp mat knife to about 3/4 of the foam-core's depth, bend to a box shape, wrap around the speaker fronts, and use stick-on hooks in the back to connect where the edges meet. I also cut small square holes where the cables enter. The "boxes" are 20" wide and 4" deep. (If these cats decide they want to jump higher than four feet, I guess I'm in trouble.)
Email me for photos of the finished product if interested (I'll send a pic of the kitties, too).
