StaceyPowers Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 My cat doesn’t mess with my PS3 because It is under a low desk and she cannot squeeze under there, but the only spot I can think of for my future PS5 will be an area she frequents. Those of you with pets, how do you keep your pets off of your consoles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Our dogs are pretty well trained to not mess with any of it. The birds are never near them, nor are the rats or dragons. They know where they’re not allowed to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 To be fair, even though my dogs mainly spend all their time outdoors, they usually don't trouble anything in the house. Training is one way of addressing the issue and another is by packing your console away when not in use and out of your sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 If the PS5 has to stand upright, perhaps some sort of decorative book-ends for the cat to rub herself on rather than the console might help it from tipping over. Alas I'm not too familiar with the console so I don't know how heavy it is and if it can support a cat/book-ends being near it. If it has to be horizontal I'm wondering if some sort of stand the size of the PS5 could cover it? Not very aesthetically pleasing I grant you, but if it means the console and/or cat don't set on fire from being sat on, it might be worth considering. Can't say I've had this problem with my cat, though she always liked to sit on my lap while I was on the laptop. Mythic dungeons with her 'help' were always fun. Turns out there's more than one reason to play World of Warcraft with one arm free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Gotta discipline ‘em. It’ll take time because cats are very persistent. I recommend either water spray bottles or little spankings and don’t get lazy. If you see them on any place you don’t want them to be, get them. Eventually, they’ll stop. It’s how cats to stop getting on places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of you with pets, how do you keep your pets off of your consoles? I'm a dog person and my Jack knows very well that my Playstation 4 console is off limits to his playing or whatever. It's an X zone for him and he respects that boundary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I think it's got to do with training you gave to your pet it follows to the latter. My boy loves cat to me that loves dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how my Jack was brought up and till date, he never disappointed me with both his indoor and outdoor behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have placed PS4 at a height which is not reachable by the my doggo that easily. Even after playing games, I put my controller in drawers so that he can't play with it. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about how you allow your pet to behave that will entirely determine whether it stays calm at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
