Lol. My grandmother's pet kitten is very annoying like that, and will always try to get onto the layout whenever the door is open. However, I need only start the locomotive, and she jumps through the ceiling.

That cat looks like one of mine.  The only thing is mine won't go near any of my trains.  I tried it once and she kept scratching on the back door wanting to go outside.  She hasn't been back in the house since.

The cat should be named like my daughter-in-laws cat, Puck as in hockey puck.

My late cat Chessie used to love hanging out in the basement with me and watching trains from the stairs.  When he was a kitten, there were a couple times where he got on the layout, but other than that, he would hang out on the stairs and just watch me and the trains.

 

Once I brought my second cat Casey Jones home, the basement visits ended since Casey kept trying to get into everything in the basement, preventing me from getting any work done.  However, upstairs, they both enjoyed watching my Lionel trains in the living room when it was just Chessie and then in the office once Casey's kennel was out of there.  Sadly, Chessie passed away in August last year.  In September, I brought home a new kitten named Smokey who has yet to experience the trains since I have yet to take the Christmas tree down from in my office where the Lionel is, and my basement's a mess since I'm trying to clean and reorganize things down there.

Years ago I had a small N scale oval around the Christmas tree and my Labrador put his nose on the tracks once ( both rails at once ) and boy did he ever YIPE. Learned his lesson fast and never came near it again.

Very cool cat in vid though.Big Smile

I am amazed the cat is not chasing it! My Beagle couldn't handle the Christmas tree train. She barked and chased it every time it started up. Funny cool laid back cat.Cool
