Were in the process of moving & all of my built-ups are carefully packed except the C-57D which was sitting on a desk. Yesterday I heard a crash. Please click this link then click the next button to see all 3 pics. http://groups.msn.com/TobysBrain/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=78

Don't you know you're supposed to leave the Klystron Generator turned on whenever you move the ship?

So what happened??? Did the Kitty see anything? I bet it was the Dog.

Tell ya what. I'll sell you this great new kitty condo that'll solve all your cat/model worries:

I'll even through in a free jerky recipe! :devil:

^ LOL.

I was amazed that there really wasnt much damage. The saucer halves separated & some landing gear got knocked loose but thats about it.

Im not much of a hardware guy but I put a lot of hours in that thing. When I saw it lying upside-down I almost cried.

Cats seem to do things like that when there is upheaval in the home. No upheaval like actually moving.

I was moving just down the street one time and my cat, the last thing I moved, jumped over me and out of my car window as I was pulling out of the driveway with her. She ran like the devil down the drive then up on the porch and pounded her paws on the front door. Completely irrational but then she was very upset.

Hmmm... A cat on the scene.... Being a long time cat owner myself, I can't help but be suspicious....Fortunately, everything looks fixable!

Yep, very salvageable.

I just noticed in the 3rd photo you can see a pawprint in the dust on the saucer.

I will never forget when I was about 5 when our cat Sheena jumped on top of my Dad's 1:72 Columbia space shuttle, destroying the landing gear and the cargo bay doors. It took me about 3 weeks to repair and repaint it last year. Here's the link so you can see the new Columbia. Eventually I'll find a picture so you can compare.

The cat got sent off to my sister's house

Now the saucer and the cat are busted!!! My dog not only loves my models but she helps me build them...

I guess the cat is not a licensed saucer flyer?

That cast the Dr. made sure did look like a giant cat claw...

"tree sloth" my cat butt!

 

[Trek Ace]

Oh, it's the C-54D. The earlier models were always somewhat unstable, anyway.

Still, that paw print is very telling...

 

[Dave Hussey]

My cat has always been careful not to damage any of my models. Although he does have a habit of curling up in the opened kit box covers while I work.

Last night he jumped up on my work bench, walked carefully AROUND my Wilco Proteus and meowed for me to feed him.

It is written all over the cat's face....."What did I do?"

Glad that it wasn't too "forbidden!"

MMM

mango, kitty condo?????

I thought down there that was an all purpose gator cooker.

 

[flyingfrets]

My cat's pretty mellow about my model building (and DEFINITELY more tolerant than the ex ever was ), except when I fire up the compressor. Or the the vacuum cleaner for that matter...you'd think after 8 years it would've sunken in that neither was gonna kill her, but she has a spaz just the same.

Gater, nutria, kitties, road kill, whatever happens to wander in.
