So, I have a new 3.5 month old kitten. I thought he was going to be ok with my speakers as he never really showed any interest in them.
..Until last night when I watched a movie. First attack he managed to destroy the tweeter on my center channel, and on the second attack he managed to put a nice little scratch on the baffle of one of the mids on the center.
He hasn't touched my floorstanding 603s or 601s yet however.
My question is: How do i prevent more damage?
I figure putting the grilles on is ASKING for him to claw them up as it seems like a big scratching post. I realize it woould probably be easier to replace the fabric on the grilles than it would be to replace anything else on the speaker, but I don't know what to do.
I plan on locking him out of the livingroom while I watch movies until I figure it out, but I'm soon going to be living in a studio apartment, and i can't exactly lock him in the bathroom everytime i turn on the tv.
It's going to take a while to train him not to mess with my speakers, but I need to prevent him from doing any further damage, and declawing isn't an option
(Not that it would do any good, he bit the tweeter with his mouth, not his claws).
Would that sticky tape on the grilles be a good deterant? Anyone have any hints?
