eeesh....cats

[ohskigod]

my wife tolerates my Audio hobby, I have to tolerate Cats.....such is the way of things.....................dammit

[steveinaz]

well, on a positive note, you won't need to dust it...kitty hooked you up.

What you're witnessing here is called "animal synergy" kitty is comfortable with your purchase, thats a good sign.

[Strong Bad]

LMAO!

Kitty probably likes the warm coming off the amp inside.

[Skynut]

Isn't that illegal?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[TroyD]

Jesse has the BEST (or at least funniest) cat repellent that I've seen...

BDT

[cfrizz]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :D How cute! Boo Boo is just keeping warm! It's cold outside!! :D WAAAAAAAAA!!!

You forget, it is HER (the cat) house & she allows you live there!!! :D

[madmax]

Nice cat warmer! :)

[gshisme]

Damn Lou, that's just plain all wrong!!

[ohskigod]

hey, I'd rather her sleep on the pre/pro then scratch the Carver Amazing drivers (since been replaced). This is her new hangout since I banned her from my basement.

If anyone remembers the tale, this is the cat that climbed on the carvers, scratching the allready very weak foam surrounds (they would have broken anyway). the other cat is the one that peed on the Carvers in retaliation to this cat's presence (in the process of changing grill cloth). hence, all cats banned from the basement.

like I said, wife takes my crap, I have to take hers. its only fair :)

[ohskigod]

the cats name is Dakota, and yeah, she likes the heat the Outlaw throws out.

[Skynut]

My wifes cats were banned from the house on day one.
They now live in my shop (garage) and the neighborhood cats come and eat the food.
Now they (some cat) have begun to "mark" (pronounced "piss on stuff") in my garage.
Not cool but better than using my speakers as a scratching post or sleeping on my components.

[ohskigod]

funny thing is, the have only scratched my old Polk RTA 12's back in the day, and the Carver's. every speaker inbetween really wasnt an issue. I guess there finicky cats. eh, grill cloth on the Carvers were a horror before the cats anyway, it put a foot in my keester to change the drivers (it needed it) and the cloth (needed that too)

I recently pulled them out of the rotation since I plan on putting more time into them. rewiring, along with the grill cloth repair.

[audiobliss]

Hmm...I'd be getting out my BB gun.

I can certainly understand having to take your wife's 'crap' since she puts up with your hobby, but I still wouldn't let them get on my equipment. I mean, she isn't convinced the cats have to sleep on your components, is she?

[ohskigod]

I pick my battles. I had a friggin caniption fit at the Carver incident. The wife took it like a trooper as I was screaming bloody murder. I was more pissed at the other cat that peed than this one for climbing. she was a small kitten at the time, I blamed myself for not being careful.

the sleeping thing? eh, whatever. aint worth a fight with the wifey. I'm protective of my theater equipment, but not as nuts as I am with the 2 channel stuff. the pre pro is the only thing exposed (rest is in an enclosed rack)

My wife returns the favor by only picking the fights that are worth it with me.

[audiobliss]

I pick my battles.
I guess that's something I'll learn is necessary.

the pre pro is the only thing exposed (rest is in an enclosed rack)
Well, that makes it a lot better. I could live with that. :)

[brettw22]

The day that thing spits up a furball instead of a dust bunny is the day you put an end to the cat.

[Shizelbs]

I love my cat more than I probably should, but he knows better than to pull something like that.

[Skynut]

Pssst......no it doesn't.

[unc2701]

find a .wav of a cat hissing, burn it on a cd. anytime the cat gets too close, crank the volume, hit that track. Works like a charm.

[Skynut]

When the cats I have started going up in the attic part of my garage I put mouse traps up there. It is just enough to scare them and they quit going up there.

I'm going to do just that, and mix it into a dts surround track. He won't know where to run.

[audiobliss]

^^ ROFL You'll have to get his reaction on tape!

[TroyD]

Here is a couple of pics of a well trained audiophile kitty......

BDT

[amulford]

Mine don't eff w any gear. I trained them to posts.

I also vacuum them regularly to get alot of the hair off of them.

If I could only train them to dust...

[Dennis Gardner]

Here are our 3 cats that disrespected my audio gear. Its alot quieter around the house now too.

[dragon1952]

LMAO! :D Mangy little bastards....that'll teach em! LOL!

[jdhdiggs]

Cats make a good stew as well, so there's always that...

[danger boy]

the only speaker my cat has any interest in is the subwoofer... she's not scared of it either. She will lay on top of it and be there for a while. she'll go up and sniff the grills on the other speakers.

she has NEVER scratched the grills on any speaker.

although she does like to lay on the cable internet modem, it's warm... so she likes it.

brotha, no one knows what cats do when your not home :p

[cfrizz]

I do! They are pulling ALL of the stuff that you don't want them to do & don't do when you are there.

Once you walk out the door...PLAYTIME!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D :D

[kingsqueak]

It's hopeless

[audiobliss]

That's right. You never know what they're doing when you walk out the door. They could be taking apart your sub and performing various tests on your equiopment! :eek: :D

Funny stuff there.

TroyD, I like the rack on the right. Who made that?

[halo]

This is the only cat in the house (out of three) that shows any interest in speakers. If she had claws my grill cloth would be shredded. This is her using an R30 for a pillow. None of the cats are interested in the components - good thing too - tube gear arriving soon. :eek:

[TroyD]

Skynut,

I wanna say it's a Sanus.....

[cfrizz]

KIng, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Halo, AWWWWW!!!!

Yeah....when I have guests and need another pillow I always figure the spare set of speakers will do just fine....lol! Ouch! :D

[wingnut4772]

Awwww...what a pretty kitty. She won't hurt anything up there and everyone is happy, right? She is declawed?..... :p

[halo]

Yeah....when I have guests and need another pillow I always figure the spare set of speakers will do just fine....lol! Ouch! :DCats can get comfortable in the weirdest places and or positions :confused:

[cfrizz]

I would love to see the size of that kitten now! LOL! :D

If I hadn't had my cats declawed, they would have made hash out of my grills! They still went after them even declawed, but they could have at it without damage to my speakers.

I miss them! :(

[madmax]

Mine used to curl up in front of the PR on my 1.2's every time I turned them on. I guess he found the bass comforting.

[Schris22]

funny stuff


I guess dogs are better for the audio equipment...I just have a crawfish for now..he doesn't get very far
