Electric fencing

Scat mats. They are transparent plastic squares with little spikes so when kitty jumps/lays/walks on it, they learn real quick like that it’s not a perch. It’s similar to those under office chair mats to protect carpet and completely harmless, yet highly effective. Best of luck 🤞🏼

My cats have always been too fat to jump that high.

My cats love licking the fabric cover panels of my polks. One got knocked over and the driver fell inside of the box, had to re drill and super glue. Still works great.

I’m more worried about my toddler now.

I maintain a consistent dislike for and allergic reaction to cats which results in me never allowing them in my house. Works like a charm.

Put catnip just outside the front door. It’ll take care of itself eventually.

If you have hard flooring. You can Blu-Tak the stands to the floor.

This however does not stop the little blighters sharpening their claws on your grills.

Aluminum foil and spray bottle works wonders.

Also providing them access to a higher perch will help.

I feel your pain. Our cats were knocking my speakers off the stands and over all over the show and scratching the covers (which I left on because I didn’t want them scratching woofers and tweeters). I ended up switching my nice new stand-mounts and stands for some old, used curb-side find big fuckers (granted, they are Paradigm 7s) that I can put on the floor until the remaining cat meets its untimely demise…

You don’t. You just accept the tragic fate of a loudspeaker, slowly falling on whatever is close to it. For me, it was an Xbox Series X (but both are fine, surprisingly).

Foolproof; don’t have cats. I’ve never had this problem.

Dump your girlfriend and find a normal person with a dog.

My cats really loved my Martin Logan Sequel IIs.
