cat-proofing my vape corner

[AndriaD]

My husband made the neatest thing for me tonight -- normally, my vape counter looks like this:

or this:

But we were both concerned, what if we're back in his room watching TV, while the cat is out here, doing her cat thing? So, he made me this: (he works in a plant that MAKES cardboard boxes, which is how he got the raw material to construct this)

The top of it is even doubled, so if she happened to get all the way on top of it, it wouldn't collapse.

All I can say is I have a burning desire to stencil an ECF logo onto it
very cool

Cool beans! I have similar concerns so I use tool boxes. Three cats are tough.

Actually I'm starting to get quite a collection of stickers from different vendors, so I could put them all over this. I haven't wanted to deface anything else, but this would be a perfect place to put them.

Sweet-vapes once sent me a magnet that says "I [heart] vaping" which is now proudly sported by my fridge, but since then all they've sent is stickers. And I just got one from electronicStix.

Now I finally have a place to put them!

Love it.
Vapers are about the most ingenious people you will ever find anywhere.

Well, my husband certainly is, though he's not a vaper -- he sure supports one!

But, with the colder weather, we're leaving our cat in the house at night, instead of putting her out in the garage; even with a space heater on, it gets pretty chilly out there. He takes her into his room, and has her box in his closet, but if she got antsy, now that the vape corner is protected, he could just open his door and let her out. We were both concerned about it, because even a tiny lick of ejuice could be very harmful for a less-than-15 lb animal, and of course PG is bad for cats too. And kitties do love to explore, when no one's around to tell them NO!

Ya, we got three. Spoiled rotten phat a55 fur balls. We love em dearly. Maybe to much, LOL.

YOU don`t own the cat, the cat OWNS YOU, :?)

Heh... I've heard, dogs have owners. Cats have staff. To me, the funniest thing is when my husband is fixing her something to eat, when we're about to sit down for dinner... her normal polite little squeak of a meow turns into NOWWWWWWWWWWW. And of course she's basically snorted whatever he fixed, before we even get our chairs up to the table.

Seems like a lot of trouble. I went the easy route and got an ED209. I go through like 4 cats a week.

 

[Rat2chat2]

Very cool. I wanna see the cat?

We serve 6 cats and own a black Cocker Spaniel. My vape stuff (modding, DIY, coiling, parts, destruction, tinkering, soldering, wizardry) is arranged neatly (yeah right) in the bonus room with a closed door. No kittehz without human supervision.

I'm paranoid about any of my pets getting into my vape stuff. So it's up on a high shelf. The two little ones wouldn't even if they could. It's my basset hound I'm concerned about. That nose of hers can smell a treat from a mile away and it gets her into trouble. But it's even out of her reach lol

 

[kitten frenzy]

Hmm, my cat never goes near my stuff. It's out in the open on my desk which she never climbs on.

Then again she's 20 lb and scared of string, so it does not surprise me.

Yes, it is. If you vape in spaces shared by your cats, it may be worth getting them tested regularly for Heinz Anemia. I think it was around $20 to get ours done during his yearly checkup. Very unlikely there would be an issue, but just in case they do get into some droplets of ejuice and you dont realize it.

You have a beautiful furbaby, and a fantastic husband.

Ed & I have a cat proof vape station...NO CATS!

we keep it where the dogs can't get at it though. *lol*

Same, I <3 Kitties.

I worry about things with my car. She is good about staying out of things except when I am building coils. She wants to sit on my table. I have to stay on her about getting too close.

Sure fire way of curing cats from getting on the counters. Put mouse traps down and cover with newspaper. Cat trips it through the paper and the noise scares them off the counter. 2 or 3 times and they'll never get on the counter again.
