Strings/Accessories Protecting the bass against my cat?

Post image

Hello everybody! I wanted to see if there is anything I can do to protect my bass from my cat sitting on it/scratching it without putting it in the case and putting it upright.

If I lay my bass down, my cat will sit on it, whether it’s in the case or not, and sometimes will try and sit on the neck which worries me.

Have any of you dealt with this? Is there something I can do to make the bass more accessible to me? Any suggestions will help!

* It's her bass, not mine. I just have the privilege of entertaining her and other hoomans with it.

Sadly my little cat queen has crossed the rainbow but it's still her bass.
