Speaker might need a taller one, if the one shown is used as a climbing wall.
Is the gap between the mesh and speaker grille more than a claw length?

 

[gintonic]

oh dear sorry speakers will not survive that. You need something more solid - like perspex woofer protectors

Anything that is mesh will be a cat climbing wall. Talking of which - if you give it good stuff to climb they will tend to avoid your precious items

Today is my cats' 9th birthday.

 

[zeon]

Thats funny.

 

[gintonic]

the latest toy to stop them wrecking stuff is a cardboard tank - would be great for a kitten

we love cats , the other day my wife showed me a picture of a nice kitten . one month later she says , oooh you know that kitten we are getting ...... er no .......... not with 2 rigs to protect !!

always love those pics GT and good luck awkward with those protections

Neither of the cats that live here pay any attention to the HiFi, or the Leather Sofa in the HiFi room other than sleeping on it.
I did have a cat a few years back that would pull his claws through the card sleeves of old 12" Techno singles but never bothered with stuff in the HiFi room.

We (one of the many good points about The Wife…) dislike cats intensely.

Always good to see pictures of cats and HiFi to remind me how they don’t mix very well.

Whereas ‘Cats in Bomber Jackets..’ winner every time.

Enjoy the cat action Awkward…

to remind me how they don’t mix very well.

with some thought and planning they do. No worse than children, in fact unlike dogs and children they don't need baby sitting overnight, and they wash themselves

 

[Rodrat]

Yes but next doors children don’t crap in my garden.

It's only 3 months old. And I train my cats not to damage stuff; it is possible if you stick to it, like with kids, it just takes a bit of time. In 50 years of cat ownership it has always worked.

 

[sq225917]

Seriously, train your cats, mine doesn't come into the music room, anymore. He tears the arse out of the rest of the house though.

Mine go out - but then come back in to use one of the three available litter trays (I am owned by two cats).

 

[hifinutt]

just made a mistake and showed my wife these pics "you see you can compromise " she says !!!!

 

[farfromthesun]

Your houses must stink.
