    You would be surprised what a cat will fit inside.  My first modular I
built, my second cat got inside when he was young, and chewed the wiring up
pretty bad (that was about 15 years ago).  It was a good size box, and he
crawled through a hole in the back that I was going to put a 6 inch speaker
in.   I am only now getting around to repairing the damage.
