That acrylic speaker guard is not the prettiest thing I've ever seen. In fact, it strikes me as kind of tacky. As I've never had a problem with the Echo in its present location, I'll pass.

Our cat is really into energy savings. In the last few weeks, she's shut down the UPS on our entertainment center, turned off the power strip that charges my phone, and turned off our home answering machine, so I'm not surprised she tried to turn the Echo off.
And lest you think I'm inappropriately anthropomorphizing her intentions, note she has turned those things off several times, but she never turns them back on, even though those same actions would toggle both ways!

It may well be intentional. I've seen videos of cats jumping up to wall switches to turn on the lights in darkened corridors. And my grandmother told me they once had a cat that taught itself to ring the doorbell whenever it wanted to come in. At first they thought mischievous children were ringing the bell and running until they actually witnessed the cat doing it.
