Growers with pets, how can I dissuade my cat from knocking over my chamber?

My cat seems to like using the holes to my SGFC as claw handles to get a good stretch. I have the chamber sitting on a crate so I can get airflow underneath. So far I have been lucky, and he hasnt figured that it isnt attached.
Now I know my cat really well and if he find out the chamber can move he will experiment with it until it finally falls over. Then if it falls over he will quickly find out the thing its sitting on is a crate, game over from there.
So heres my idea, I glue it down. I know epoxy would do the trick, but Im hesitant to using epoxy on a chamber. Super glue ok? Better ideas?

glue should hold it just fine, just make sure to bring it food and water

That was hilarious.
Cat nip would not help, and a scratch post is useless. He doesnt touch em. I was more worried that because epoxy is toxic, it might be bad to use. Superglue is non-toxic, less chance of holding, although I plan to sandpaper the crate to help it hold if I go that route.
More so im not very inventive, narrow minded you might say. So Im looking to hear from someone else with pets that has a setup to prevent similar problems. Or even an idea of how I can otherwise elevate the SGFC while providing airflow.

Throw the cat through a wall and it will stop this destructive behavior. First treatment guaranteed to give you lasting peace.

Simple fix:
Put the fruiting chamber in a room and close the door so the cat can't get in. Unless your cat can open doors - Then I don't have a solution for you.

That's funny^ Man. I can't even have a cat because my dog ate my last one literally. Its eyes popped out of its head. Anyway (not that I'm one to talk w all my shit layin around) if your tub is where your cat attacks it it might also be where the wrong person may spot it(?)
Ok so here's the solution: Eat at least 3 grams of the mushrooms & communicate with the cat telepathically. Tell the cat you will share the mushrooms, but only if he stops. Although all cats prefer fresh buds...

Ok heres the scoop. There is nothing I can do about the cat, my place has an open design and is small, so closing him in would be kinda cruel. He opens drawers, sliding doors, closets, and windows. If I spray him with water or yell at him for doing something he will enjoy the attention and do it more.
Im sure ill eventually think of something that will be sturdy and allow airflow, any constructive ideas are appreciated.

Don't Epoxy the cat! Fur comes off too easily, use nails instead...
Well or get some "Don't cat" cat mats. They are open holed plastic matts with large dull plastic spikes that cats don't like to walk on. Often sold at garden stores. They look mean but are soft enough not to injure, just deter.

Dude, cronicr had me laughing! Well if the crate is sturdy enough how about bungee cords, or maybe a ratchet strap. Bungee cord can be easily put on and off, ratchet strap maybe extreme but they could work as long they are just tight enough to hold but not buckle the chamber. I guess ideally you'd want to separate them but I know the feeling, fortunately I have the room to keep my cats away from all sensitive areas.

I recently saw something called invisible fence spray* that supposed to keep animals away form plants, I don't know what it is or how it works, but maybe you could put it on a towel or something near the cage. -shrug- is there a shrug icon?

I think I heard cats hate Lemon juice smell. Maybe drip a few droplets around the area or something? Whatever you do! Dont put catnip leafs near the fruiting chamber

This is what im talking about, thinking outside the box. Thank you for the idea. Ill look into scents that act as deterrents.
Im still curious as to what people use to elevate their SGFC and allow airflow, Im not so hopeful of getting help on that here. Ill keep trying the search function for that.

Dude.... I have two 7 month old kittens that do not give a flying fuck about spray bottles, being smacked in the face, or even moth balls which is supposed to deter them.
Most cats are kind of skittish when it comes to loud noises and movements. I can literally throw my sandal at my kittens and they don't even budge, they just sit there and starting playing with it. Everything is a fucking toy/game to them.
Literally the only thing that works is yelling at them at the top of my lungs and chasing them. If you give a mammal enough negative experiences associated with an object or area they will eventually lose interest. Just figure out what they don't like and exploit the fuck out of it.
Maybe put something sticky on the outside of your FC (double sided tape)? I've heard that is very displeasing to cats.

Cats will stop at nothing to eat fresh weed. Learned it the hard way. My brother gave me a fist sized wet bud and I set it on a shelf that's like 10 feet up. Came home and I could see remnants on the floor from it chewing it all. Couldn't figure out how the hell it got up there other than scaling the wall or leaping off the adjacent wall like a ninja on meth.

Maybe use a modified Nerf gun? They shouldn't really hurt the cat, but you can jack them up so they'll sting a person like Hell. Could be a fun game, lol.
IDK how to do it, I just had a friend that was into it.

The trick is to squirt them when they 'look' at it. Squirting them when they've already made the decision to mess with it is too late. Soak them when they're just 'thinking' about it and you'll have much better results.

Some cats don't care about water, though, especially if they've been a stray before. My buddy's cat loves to get in the bathroom sink and turn the water on slightly. He drinks it off of himself.

Jars, 2X4s, bricks, etc. Anything to support the corners so air can flow under. Even the lids from spraypaint cans work. Have it on a table or desk so it's waist high or so at least. RR

chili powder? or some other capsacian loaded gift from god. NO, DO NOT DOUSE THE CAT LIKE A HIPPIE! while cats are the devil, there is no need for abuse. im thinking just the smell alone would dissuade it from the A.O.

1. Set milk crate right side up. 2. Fill halfway with bricks. 3. Set SGFC on top. 4. Run bungees cords in both directions x2 to secure SGFC to crate. 5. Explain to your cat why this project is important to you & give him the attention he craves.
