Cat has taken liking to BF Midget paint finish - as scratching post!

[JapanAxe]

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!

I always knew there must be someone out there that actually likes the BF paint finish and now we know who

Maybe you could have him fitted with castors instead?

Ha ha - catty comment in a catty thread

[tonyquipment]

Get a guard dog

[steve-bbb]

maybe you could coat the cabs with that sticky anti-climb paint

that'll learn him

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 ...

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...

You should see the state on my PJB cab covers thanks to my youngest cat, Sophie!!

This does not bode well for my barefaced when it arrives

Marshall is quite a gorgeous puss cat though

Get rid of the cat then.

I can't believe you could say that when you've met the cat..... Shame on you Wayne!

[waynepunkdude]

I didn't say kill it.

What if i said kill it?

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.

This too

[icastle]

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...

Should never let a Marshall in the music room.

my New Kitten Simba, has a thing for attacking the cover on my Bergantino, so I have to put a blanket over it, as I don't like the cover getting ruined my other two two cats Tinker and Belle are a lot better behaved and just attack furniture, er and loo rolls - lol

I bet she loved him as well. :-)!

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.
