Our cat decided he likes to sit there and use the lower port to pull out the padding stuffed into the bottom part of my M80s. I usually keep them covered because of this, but sometimes I slip. So I was thinking of getting a port plug and drilling some holes in it. That would still allow some air movement but keep the cat out (I hope).
What do you guys think?

Maybe put some acoustically transparent cloth over it (using velcro or painter tape?)

That's even more clever than straws! I snagged a few and some cloth to cover them. I appreciate the great ideas, thanks again!

Those leaf strainers look so cool I'd leave them naked.

So many have complained about this over the years. Ian should buy a machine to build leaf strainers in a color of choice, throw an Axiom logo on them and sell them for 50 bucks each.

What a fun business that would be, eh? Unfortunately, I cannot do that to people...no matter how much money they have. On the other hand, if it makes them feel good, why not? Hmmmmm.....

There are plenty of snake oil gadgets on the market already. Why not join the party and make some money?
