Protecting from cats and dust ???


I'm trying to come up with a simple solution to prevent dust and or my cats from being able to mess with my preamp and DAC, which sits just a foot above the floor on a rack. I have thought of building a small elegant looking page over the top of it, with decorative expanded metal. I can make this look wonderful. I was just wondering if there is some kind of cloth, mesh, or dust shield material I can use on the inside which will not hold in an excessive amount of heat? Maybe one of those fabric style computer covers? Can anyone give me any advice or thoughts on this? Thank you very much

My cats are very well behaved. I'm not afraid of them harming the equipment. My point is they will jump up on top of anything flat and sit though. This can allow dander or dust from their feet and coat to settle onto equipment if it's not covered. I I'm only concerned about this aspect. The silk cases is exactly the type of thing I was talking about. Someone also sent me a link to a company who makes computer covers. They are breathable completely and can cover keyboards
,monitors and the PCS themselves. They will not allow equipment to overheat , yet will keep all of the dust out. So I found what I was looking for. I would think the topping preamp and DAC probably don't put out any heat to be honest. But I was trying to make sure and be safe. Thank you everyone!
