JapanAxe Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Our cat Marshall - coincidentally as big, black and heavy as a Marshall cab - just wandered into my music room to inform me it was biscuit time, and started into my BF midget with his claws. Little git! Fortunately he went for the paint finish rather than the silver grille cloth, so no visible damage was done. I have warned him that I could do with a pair of furry slippers. Actually the best way to keep him away is to play bass - low frequencies send him running for cover behind the sofa. Here is a picture of him in a stupid-looking pose. He is dim but loveable - provided he keeps his claws off my kit!

chriswareham Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 One of mine loves to claw the grille cloth on my 15" cab. He has a look of sheer contentment as he does it, eyes half closed and purring. If I shout at him he just seems to dig his claws in a bit harder in anticipation of being unceremoniously removed from the room ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 ALL cats love anything to do with moving-coil loudspeakers. I base this on the condition of the grille cloth on my stereo speakers, cinema subwoofer and Trace Elliot cabinet carpet covering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You should see the state on my PJB cab covers thanks to my youngest cat, Sophie!!

JapanAxe Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'm glad Marshall can't read this! I keep my music room door closed when I'm not in it. Marshall is allowed to claw 2 things in the house: the magazine basket (gets replaced annually) and an old pouffe in the conservatory (c'mon folks, you're better than that). His paws are like gorilla's hands, so if he claws something, it stays clawed! I just don't like to shout at him as he is a timid soul.

icastle Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I had 29 of them a year or two back. They totally destroyed my house and various bits of musical equipment. I do have a soft spot for them though... ...Romney Marsh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWIC Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Could be worse. Your cat could've found a way inside your cab like mine did a few months ago! The little tart woke me up from meowing; she managed to get in but couldn't get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
