[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Eriediamond OK Scott, you just HAD to start this thread, didn't ya!!! Bubba (my cat) fas been lay'in here reading all of this with me. Some he takes serious other he lays on his back, all four paws in the air laughing his tail off. I think he's picked up a few pointers for future train attacks. I only have only myself to blame for most of his escapades though. You see, he use to just lay in his favorit spot on the layout and enjoy the trains. One evening I put a newley acquired Chessie boxcar about midway in the train and when he saw the emblem of the kitten with it's paw stuck out there----- bam!!!! I think he either took that as another cat wanting to play or a threat to his retreat. After contemplating this I came to realize that Chessie emblem must have looked awful big to him at his eye level. I've also come to realize that Bubba has learned to fake sleeping. It's one of his tactics to put me off guard. I think I've out smarted him though, I'm building a small layout just for him. Now, if doesn't read this I'm in good shape. So don't let the cat out of the bag and keep it quiet. [:-^][:-^][:)][:)] [/quote] Your story reminds me of the antics of a Manx cat I had named Sophie. At the time my family had her I had a small Z scale layout that I liked to show off to friends and relatives. On one particular ocasion I had my little Z scale layout set up on the den floor all prepared for an opperating demonstration when Sophie found the miniture pike and decided that my Kaydee loco and rolling stock would make great cat toys. Fortunately I caught her before she did much damage however the front coupler of my SP black widow F7 has never worked quite right since. No, I did not scold Sophie because it was my fault that I left the mini-pike alone with a her present. I guess the moral of the story is to protect model trains from cats like you would protect model trains from roudy kids, keep equipment out of reach or if equipment is in reach keep your eye on it at all times... Scott
