CATS

[Anonymous]

I love my cats you know. I rescued the older one and saved her lone kitten
(reall odd only one kitten) but they sleep in my 20 by 9 room with my layout.
And they aren't really liked by the rest of the family. so its hard to keep em out.

Best bet, in my opinion, if it is possible, try to keep the cats out of the layout room.
One cat that we have, Scooter, isn't interested in my trains at all. The other cat,
Chessie, (should of seen it coming when we named her!!!) can't control herself!!
I currently don't have a layout, but whenever I am trying to put a kit together she has
to be in the middle of it. I put her in another room now to keep her away from the
adhesive and parts--for her safety and my sanity!!

P.S. Currently house hunting--looking for layout space with living quarters attached!

When not using the layout, carefully remove the locomotives, and anything else that draws power from the track, and connect it to a step up transformer giving a high enough voltage to give the cats a jolt when crossing the track.

They should learn fairly quickly.

Keep other human members of the household away, and don't forget to turn it off before working on the layout.

It might work...

(I actually like cats, so don't make the voltage too high, just enough to make them notice!)

I have two cats and they're driving me crazy!
they rub on the grass I just put on the layout, rub the unfinished weathering off of RS and ruin ballast.

what can I do about this problem?
