Can Vandy's get along with cats?

My Vandy 1Bs bought new in the early 90s were THOUROUGHLY enjoyed by myself and various cats. The "cat trampoline" tops were particularly attractive to the cats and declawing was not an option (I think it's lame, and since we lived on several rural CT country acres the cats needed the claws to harass wildlife and defend themselves). I couldn't stand it anymore so I sent 'em back to Vandersteen for new covers, and then sold them. When I sent them back I made the mistake of asking if they could be "updated" and they put Richard Vandersteen on the phone...he basically scolded me for even suggesting such a thing ("Newer tweeters? DO YOU REALIZE EVERY COMPONENT HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR CHANGED??!!!")...pretty funny. I prefer less "cat tempting" speakers so no more Vandys, although now we have zero cats so anything is possible...hmmm...

Indeed...disposal of unwanted children who mess with your speakers is similar to a heartless cat murderer. I hate it when a human embryo tears my speaker grills. Who wouldn't? I might try the banana defense against the next assault on my hifi by a wave of destructive fetuses (feti?) as it seems to work with cats. I learn SO much in this forum!

Douglas, I think you missed my sarcasm; I was pointing out the wretchedness of the use of an inappropriate metaphor.

I am offended by the use of the ultra smarmy sideways smiley face: :). I can pretty much tolerate anything else.

The offending cat was forced to read innane animal cruelty posts on this forum and upon realizing how moronic, mean spirited, thoughtless, wasteful, and inhumane humans can be, he offed himself.

Felineacide.

THREAD TASTE POLICE ALERT! Is the "Church Lady" here? Nothing spreads joyous happy holiday health and happiness like a tedious wet blanket post. Kids these days....

Group hug!

Yeah...my tennis racquets, vintage violins, and the Ramirez. It's a cat intestine festival around here.
