Can Vandy's get along with cats?

I'm currently a proud owner of a pair of Vandersteen 3A sig., and am considering getting a cat. I've held off up to this point because I'm concerned that the cat would shred the socks on the Vandersteens. It's a big enough concern that I have thought about getting different speakers. I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with cats and Vandersteens sharing the same space. Has this worked for anyone in the past?

Thank you very much,

As I think I mentioned in another thread, one of our cats likes to chew on cables. A far costlier problem than speaker grills, but to be safe I have never installed the grills on my Dunlavys. In addition to wrapping the cables with various materials in strategic places, I've had success keeping little Spencer away from the equipment rack by laying down carpet protector upside down. Not ideal but it's cheap and portable.

Easy Fix
Go to Bed Bath and beyond and purchase
Orange Citrus spray
Spray the bases and or cables etc
You can also spray into a plastic sandwich bag and
leave it behind the speakers
Cats do not like the scent of citrus and stay away.

Audioconnection-- I personally knew a cat who ate oranges for breakfast. Winnie was an unusual kitty, but some cats like citrus.

I know it's not citrus, but my big orange cat would eat Cantelope until just shy of (the cat) exploding. Also, any and all pizza toppings.
His littermate/sister would eat ONLY cat food, not even a nibble of Porterhouse or BBQ Chicken would tempt.

Quite true, some cats don't mind citrus at all. If you really want to disgust a cat, peel a banana in front of them. They give you this horrified look like, "I can't believe you'd eat something so repulsive".

Sounds like a marketing idea waiting to happen.
