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?)

I just finished cleaning my eavestroughs and realized this might be a great solution.  https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/...oCFqwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=313

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.....

I think you all know me by now. I'd want to back up my snake oil with science, physics, engineering and other such gimmicks.

Kodiak, you've proven yourself. You can be my CSOO (Chief Snake Oil Officer). Rich, you can be my CVWE (Chief Vapor Ware Engineer). Rich, your job is to come up with fancy graphs and charts that no one can refute. Kodiak, your job is to show how those charts and graphs make people happy as they are parting with their hard-earned cash.
The lime mankini will be our logo. Every LMAer, male, female and everyone in betwixt, will prance about, joyfully fulfilling their snake oil duties while wearing lime mankinis.

They bought Axioms and other goodies from this clod-hopping troglodyte so I'm sure a lime mankini is at least one step up. https://youtu.be/JZUqZPTwlYY
