I was worried that my bad joke would go unnoticed.

Mike KieranThat joke was a catastrophe.
Well put.
You just need to include them in the hobby.

Mike Kieran I never knew that squirrels growl until I had to remove one that came inside. It was trying to make a new home behind a radiator (it was summertime, so no slow cooking going on). I had someone hold a piece of wood at a 45 degree angle above the radiator and facing the window while I squirted it with a water pistol. It took 5 squirts of the water pistol before it shot up, bounced off the board, and went out the window. Oh yeah, did I mention that they growl?

When I trapped the squirrel in my basement, he growled at me when I got close to the trap. That was a real surprise.
I always thought the worst possible malicious joke you could ever play on someone was to wait for your neighbour to finish his 15 year struggle to complete his marvelous layout and then give him a cat, then I find out people that have layouts actually DO have cats, who knew???

If my wife and I locked our cat out, we've found she will claw the carpet at the edge of the door, destroying it. Since she is a rescue cat, we had to agree not to declaw her. We don't mind if she comes in and sleeps on the bed and she's mostly been no bother.

Happy Wife, happy life.
My family, when I was a kid, always seemed to have pets, cats in the early years but they didn't last long because small kids traumatize cats. Later it was a dog, a horse and many guinea pigs! So I've always had a mild fondness for animals but being transient much of my adult life never had a cat or dog - only a few small parrots.
My wife has had cats for most of her adult life in England before she immigrated here in 2011 - yes, I married a cat lady, LOL. The most she had was 5 in England and was down to 3 at the time she came here but they stayed behind with her adult daughter.
Of course she wanted a cat but for the first couple years we were kind of poor and living in basements and pets were not allowed. As soon as we bought a home, she was picking out her cat - this time a half Maine Coon who is pretty low maintenence and a nice cat. I do keep it out of the train room because I don't want trouble.
hon30critter Outdoor cats don't like to visit my backyard more than once or twice. We keep a slingshot by our deck chairs. Don't worry, we use dried chick peas, not ball bearings, and the blackbirds get equal treatment when they are on the feeders. I would consider getting another dog. That is as soon as somebody invents dog food that would make their poop glow in the dark. I hated searching for landmines when the leaves were on the ground in the fall! Dave

Know that feeling I stepped in poop over the weekend.
The dog is not allowed in the train room because I am afraid he could swallow something that could hurt him say a dropped coupler.
Thats funny Ricky! Earl....
I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Just showing he loves you by trying to feed you.
My cat tried to do that once...
Background story - He has a toy mouse, that squeaks, and that is approximately the correct size.
He brought me a mouse in the middle of the night, woke me up, and set it in my hand.
I thought, "How sweet, you brought me your toy mouse."
Then the mouse moved.....
It got flung across the room, I turned on the light, and the cat looked where the mouse got flung too, then back to me, then back and forth a few times, then he looked at me and he had the funniest look on his face... Like, "Why in the world did you do that? I spent (who knows how long) catching that thing, brought it to you because I love you, and you just threw it across the room? What did you go and do that for?"
I then ordered him, to, "First off, don't you ever do that again. Second, go get it, and kill it this time."
My cat then bopped me in the nose, and went after the mouse.
Yep... I am the one who got my nose bopped...
My cat is no longer allowed in my room at night....
And everyone is happy.

We had a cat once. It liked leaving gifts of dead animals at the back door. I fixed that by putting a collar on him that had a bell on it.

I didn't get close enough to find out. Squirrels have some nasty teeth.
babefluff I say why do you have a cat?
Happy wife, happy life. She had to build the cat door to keep them out of the train room though.
Up until this afternoon I had a 3 rail floor layout, it had fallen into disuse since the cats arrived, and they were knocking stuff over, so I put it away, last few pieces are on their way to the basement.
I do not post much here but I do frequent a lot. I have a cat and to all of you that bash cats and MRR, I say why do you have a cat?

That's really good, Robert. Our old cat used to do that too, than sit there and look at you like "aren't you proud of me now!" He always left "trophys" on the back porch. Old Whiskers died about 10 yrs ago. Never got another one.
