Members crashclc Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 My cat chews the ends off the black foam rubber covers on my floor stands. He's developed enough of a "thing" about it that, even though he knows I don't like him doing it, he just can't help himself... so his guitar room privileges have been revoked.

Members Goofball Jones Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'm severely allergic to cats....so if I saw a cat near my gear....I'd probably stomp the {censored} out of it. Yeah, because it's the cat's fault for you being allergic to it. Though why would a cat be near your gear? And if you're severely allergic to them, why is your first instinct to go TOWARDS it to...as you say..."stomp the {censored} out of it"? Not only would you probably drop into anaphylactic shock, you'd also draw the ire of cat lovers that would just let you squirm away without helping you with your epi-pen.

Members seven58 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Great pics. My cat has been with me since '96. He digs hearing me play and LOVES laying in a guitar case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 My bass rig is about 6 feet tall. The cabs have protective carpet on them, perfect for cat scratchin, and excellent for climbing. No suprise the favorite perch in the house for the cats is on top of my bass rig. They dont really have much interest in any of my other gear, unless I leave a guitar case open on the floor in which case, they all take turns taking a nap in it.

Members Gravity Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 my cats like my music room for two reasons1. fuzzy covered cabinets that are fun to dig your nails into2. sound insulation foam that is fun to dig your claws and teeth into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A_Gitarman Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 My daughter's kitten goes absolutely ape-shit whenever I'm working on/ re-stringing any of my guitars: She'll also take over any cases that are left lying open for more than a few minutes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gappa Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Mine loves my cases and pedal board. I've shown up for many a gig, opened my case and had a big poof of cat fur. Gah! He used to love using tolex for a scratching post. I put an end to that real quick with a spray bottle. Now that we have an 1800 couch tho, I don't mindhim using my can as long as he stays away from the couch heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex_SF Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 My drummer's cats like to piss all over cables, his mixer, and pretty much everything else that's left out where they can get to it. I like cats, but the stench in the practice room has pretty much cured me from ever having them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fade2Grey Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 My avatar cat, Kuda, who has since sadly passed on at age 19, lived to sit on amps and cabs- he really liked the Ampeg for some reason. Kuda is horse in Malay. May he/she running with the stallions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Our cat used to run straight for an open guitar case and he'd sit on top of my amp all the time. This.Also, once the amp is shut off, it sits on top of it for heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dkurtz Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 you have a cat named mouse? that is awesome! At one time I had two cats named Mouse. We named one, and the other one came to us with that name. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MadAudioMan Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 XD, I just found my cat in my Crate, its an open back and he was inside, must've been warm from the tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dkurtz Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Any of you have stories of your feline companion(s) and your gear room? Yes. An amplifier or hardshell case covered in pebbled Tolex makes a GREAT scratching post (As does the front speaker cloth on some amps). An open guitar case on the floor makes a GREAT bed (especially the more expensive plush ones, but even chipboard will do!). The open back of a combo amp makes a GREAT hiding place. Three of four kittens can camp out together inside a twin 12! A string-change is an exciting time, as the loose ends of old and new strings bobbing around in the air are just begging to be pounced upon. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Heel Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Our cat used to run straight for an open guitar case. Yep, mine does this. He's pretty good about not knocking any of them over in the stand though. I always have 4 on a stand at a time, and I haven't come home to any damage...yet. When I start playing, he always comes in to check it out...often jumping on top of the amp threatening to knock over my beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have to make a note never to piss you off. You are badass enough to take on a wild vicious housecat and "stomp the fuck out of it"? .... pretty scary stuff, dude. Pretty scary.

Members mr footinmouth Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Willie usually approves of my guitars........ Even my cats would aprove of your guitars Btw, how many cat owners here leave their guitars in stands while the cat is around. I know they are very graceful and all, but one of my old cats killed my first acoustic guitar in a failed jump attempt, maybe a rare acurrance but still, I don't let my cats or any other pet into my guitar room anymore just in case.

Members twisty571 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 I no longer own a cat for about a month now. It will be the last time my car paint is all scratched up,a new Harley seat tore up. Cat's are cool but I haven't met 1 worth a $3K paint job let alone the few cars they have screwed up here. I have to have my Cadillac hood resprayed now:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spike Li Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 I never leave my cases open for more than a few seconds, cause if I even blink there will be a cat in it. They should sell them at pet stores as cat beds... My cats have also discovered how awesome it is to chew the foam and rubber on my stands I have two cats, one seems to bolt as soon as I plug the guitar in- he knows whats coming- and the other doesnt seem to notice- except when I practice the beginning solo for Metallica's Fade to Black, he sings along with the high notes. I used to notice that my cats would show up when I "played" the piano, but not so much with the guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
