Can't find the note where we were discussing cats scratching speakers
but I was able to locate a source of the speaker fabric yesterday. The
shop did not have any currently in stock but I know the price is $25.00
a yard. It seems on the expensive side but I doubt you'd need an
entire yard to cover two speakers and when you think of the cost of
replacing the speakers, some $25 fabric doesn't seem so bad.
The store was The Fabric Place in Woburn, MA. I may check the one out
in Framingham soon to see if they have the fabric, which comes in beige
and black. (I'll also post the addresses - there's four stores in New
England, two in Mass, one in RI and one in CT)
For those of you in California or other distant areas, I'm sure we can
work something out where one of us offers to buy several yards and ship
it across the country.
Are there that many bad cats out there that take a liking to scratching
speakers? :^)

My cat, Linus, used to love to scratch the speakers and he actually
ripped through to the speaker and scratched that. I used to buy fabric
to replace the scratched stuff. Recently I bought new speakers because
mine were ruined, and along with them I bought speaker stands, which
easily could have been made. Because they are off the ground a bit
(about maybe 9 inches or so) and are slanted just a bit, neither of my
cats ever goes to scratch them anymore which is great!!
Here's what they look like:

WHen Bumble Bea wants a good scratch she uses her custom built post.
But when she wants our attention she uses the speakers (using the
sofa gets the wrong kind of attention). At this point the speakers are
pretty old so if we can ever get a new pair we pland to leave the old
ones where they are as decoys and install the new ones off the floor.

It is doubtful that they will do a quantity discount since this store
(supposedly) has discounted prices. The only way to luck out buying
this fabric is if there's less than 10 yards on the bolt, it may end up
in the 50% off remnant section.
If anyone comes across other supplies of this fabric, please post the
information.
Here's the addresses of The Fabric Place stores that should have the
speaker fabric.:
300 Quaker Lane/Route 2, Warwick, RI
401.823.5400
Woburn Mall, Woburn, MA
617.938.8787
Cromwell Commons, Cromwell, CT
203.632.5744
136 Howard St. Framingham, MA
508.872.4888 or 617.237.9675 (they'll need two phone lines since some
of the workers do nothing but gab on the phones there and ignore
customers. we tried to find out about speaker fabric but i lost
patience with this particular store and left)
