I've always had a couple of fur balls hanging around and have only had problems twice with the same Psychotic Siamese.  He is now turning 14 yrs old so tice over 14 yrs is an okay record and I can forgive him the one incident because my daughter and her cousin were chasing him around trying to dress him in baribie clothes (I'd run too).  The other incident involves him chewing a propeller of a 1/32 Zero for which I still hold a grudge.

Here is the Siamese, no that is not red eye from the camera that is just pure evil lurking behind those eyes.

The other cat had the misfortune to be named Rocket by my daughter and turned out to be a 23lb tub of lard.  After an unfortunate birthday party incident we just refer to him now as balloon butt.

Hwells, that sounds like my german shepard, she is scared of cats if they come up to her and try to love on her. She loves to chase squirrels though, does your do that?

My two fuzzy monsters don't bother my work bench.  The oldest, Cornwwod, is about 8 or so, and he has been an ex-tomcat for about 5 years now.  His partner in crime, Wormy, is about 5.  One day Cornwood and wormy were playing wild kitty in the front yard when my German Shepard decided to chase Wormy up a tree.  Unfortunately for Zita(the dog), Cornwood is very protective of Wormy.  He had a 70 pound dog on her back yelping.  So when The cats go outside, Zita hides in the doghouse.

 My old cat used to walk back and forth past my work table (the coffee table) and her tail would be stuck up in the air and she'd knock off my paint pallet and get paint in her fur. This one also loved boxes.



LoL... both of my cats were black & I "accidently" spilled some white paint on the long haired one thanks to the short haired one jumping up & bumping my hand at the wrong time. Man, the ol' lady thought I did it on purpose!! I did have to clean it up tho... I straightened the white streak down her back!!Shock [:O]Mischief [:-,] Needless to say,... I slept with the cats for awhileSign - Oops [#oops]

My cat likes boxes, too.  For all those modellers who find a cat sitting in a box lid, slowly get down on your hands and knees and slowly put out a hand and take a hold of the side of the lid with the cat still in it.   Then s-l-o-w-l-y pull the lid gently along the floor.  If the box is on a carpet or rug, the sound which it makes is fascinating to a cat!  They hear the sound and can feel the carpet moving under the lid!  My cat thinks this is great fun and will try and scratch the carpet through the lid!  She'll then jump out and try to get her paws under the lid to find what is making the noise.  Having tried that, she'll jump back in and wait to be pulled around some more.  Great fun and very good for the blood pressure!  I,ve had three cats over the years and only the first one damaged a model - just one. A 1/400 Scharnhorst with a complete set of scratchbuilt streched-sprue rigging.  She simply ate all the rigging down to the level of the funnel top!  Must have been the crunching sound she liked!  Never touched another model, though. And no, I did not retaliate.  She lived to the ripe old age of 16 years.

Hee Hee, those pics are funny.  I just adopted a 6 week old terror of the feet back in August.  Here is an exceprt I wrote in a earlier post about one of his antics last month.  He has taken quit fondly to my Labradors.

At approximately 7:55am on October 28, a lone unidentified aircraft made its way through both the outer defenses and the secondary defenses set up to protect the dry-dock facilities at Scott's Shipyards.  The attacker came in low under radar and was in stealth mode so that it could not be detected by audiophonic listening devises or the K9 Labrador early warning system.  At about 8 am it made its attack on the Arizona, which was dry-docked and undergoing an extensive remodeling of its superstructure and armament.  The attacker made one run on the Arizona and scored four hits on the defenseless ship.  Damage was superficial on the forward superstructure; however, the rear observation tower and number three turret took a direct hit.  This damage was severe in that the number three TMW PE catapult was about 90% complete and was completely destroyed.  Also, a direct hit was placed on a lone WEM 02 observation plane which was completed and being fitted to the catapult.   This aircraft was a total write-off.
Repairs to the ship may have set back the completion of the project at least two weeks, which is already experiencing both high cost over-runs and is at risk of missing a December 7th deployment.
The attacker was picked up on audiophonic listening after it was about to embark on a second attack and was subdued, after a long chase around the dockyard, by intercepting forces.  The pilot was captured and is in lock down undergoing intelligence debriefing.
The attacker was described as being a very light and agile craft with black and white markings and had stealth capabilities.  It had four primary defense mechanisms that would allow it to impose smashing effects on maritime and aviation structures and also create painful, searing abrasions on human flesh.   Although it sounded like it was powered by an internal combustion engine, it seemed, after evaluating the odors of the exhaust, that it was powered by some organic method of fuel.
The pilot was described as being 6" tall, 13 1/4 " long, is missing thumbs, wearing a fur flight suite, had yellow slanted eyes, speaks in code of high pitched consonants, and only responds when scratched behind the ears or offered small biscuits made of dried fish.
A Congressional investigation is being conducted as to why and how the primary defenses were left open to the shipyard and extensive training in shipyard security procedures will be conducted to all staff and family members of the shipyard.
Further training and evaluation will be conducted on the K9 Labrador early warning system because it failed to alert the where a bouts of the said attacker to dockyard officials.
The Senate has asked that a declaration of war be presented and that the attacker be deported to an isolated farm in Southwestern Kansas where it may end up being an evening meal for the resident coyotes, but this proposal was rejected by the House, who has strong, emotional ties to the attacker.
Pictures are still classified but may be posted when they become declassified.

That reminds me of a cat the old lady and I saw when we went fishing in Michigan! That thing was huge, we are sitting on a boat, back in a little cove and she looks at me and says "is that a cat or a dog?" I couldn't tell, we got closer and its a white cat! That thing was probably an easy two feet long!!! I have never seen a cat that big before!
