Growers with pets, how can I dissuade my cat from knocking over my chamber?
    #18410339 - 06/12/13 07:39 PM (11 years, 7 months ago)

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.

Get a spray bottle, and spray him when he gets close.

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.
