I tried Qobuz out this month, they do a 1 month free trial that you can check out before spending.
I personally didn’t stick with them but it sounds like you’ll fare better than me. I think your biggests hurdle would be making sure they have the music you want to listen to, since their library is a little patchy.
My two warnings (three if you count the library bit) are that their streaming eats up mobile data, and that there is zero customer support.
I think an important fact to keep in mind is that not all Ubisoft offices are unionized, and from what I have seen they are targeting the unionized offices first.
So strike now, sue for union busting later.
Monolithsoft has been 100% owned by Nintendo for over a year.
And they’ve been majority owned by Ninendo since '07.
Do you intend to include internet/web surfing, or hold back on that until later?
Search engines can be very useful, while also being awful.
But I do think teaching the kiddo how to navigate the website of your local library would be a good lesson for them.
One possible solution you’ve gotten close to is having an area in the house off-limits to cats. That could be a door that stays closed or a baby gate guarding a nook with a window.
You could also try wrapping the pot in chicken wire.
Hopefully one of these two solutions could work in the short term, to then give you time to work on a lasting solution: train the cat to not be chompy.
