QUOTE: Originally posted by bill mathewson Every Christman season we set up a very large G scale layout running all through our living room, dining room and looped around the tree. Several years ago our son taped a banana to a denuded (no superstructure) LGB motor block and attached a fresh catnip mouse to it and ran it around the track while our cats chased it. However, they later attacked his brand new Forney pulling a string of cars causing a major "cat-tasrophe", so he put the Forney back on the track and rammed one of them head on at full speed, and while the other cat was laughing-cats do have a warped sense of humor-he ran his C-16 into it's butt. They never even go near the trains anymore. Just got cat #3 and can't wait to "train" her, too! As far as breaking cats from attacking bags of model railroad stuff, you might try tying several helium balloons on their tail with a ribbon or string and at first they'll think it's fun until they pop one, or as happened in our case-cat#! started chasing cat#2 (the one w/ the balloons) and the faster he ran the more the balloons hit each other, furniture and so on , making quite a racket, until cat #1 popped one of the balloons scaring the living hell out of both of them! Neither cat has gone near any bag in five years. And this is not April Fools. . .
