Other times I can walk around the layout and by doing that, he will avoid attacking the trains. If I really want to run trains, we lock him out of the basement temporarily (but his litterbox is there). So most of the time there is no damage at all, but on highly detailed plastic freight cars, there has been some damage, and I've written off a few cars as a result.
Often plastic engines have rolled over with no damage whatsoever. On one, a stanchion was broken loose and I was able to neatly glue it to its (EMD style) base, which was still soldered to the model. He will also go after new engines, mainly out of curiosity, and has jumped on expensive brass models while they were running. When awake, he likes to bat the last car in the train off the track, so I use old cars that I don't care about on the end of the train. Sometimes he sleeps under the layout on storage boxes, and I can run anything I want. We have a wonderful 2 year old orange tabby, who unfortunately loves the basement. There are plenty of squirrels for them, and judging by how many dead mice I fish out of the pool every summer, plenty of mice to eat as well. They couldn't possibly fly off with any of my dogs, but they are just around that size that they might be tempting, and even if the dog gets away, they will be badly cut by the hawk's claws. Unfortunately no one thought to look in the empty field next to the lady's house, which is where they finally found the dog, but it was far too late. Last year someone had their dog taken, smaller than my Pugs, but as it ended up too big for the hawk. I'm not worried my cat will kill birds, I'm worried the hawk would take her. But unlike previous cats, she does not bother you constantly when there's still food in the dish but the bottom of the dish is visible.Īround here, the birds get revenge - the hawls I have mentioned that nest in the water town next to my house. Old Dude, he takes offered treats so gently you hardly know he grabbed it.Īctually this cat is fairly mellow, occasionally she gets the zoomies and runs back and forth in the hall for no real reason. Bubba half the time can t decide if what you are holding for him is something he wants or not, he's a real food critic.
#CAT IN THE KETTLE PEKING MOON HOW TO#
But she's quite smart - if you give her a water bottle with the lid on it, she knows how to unscrew the lid so she can crunch on the bottle and make noise. Trixie is a little hyper, you have to remind her to take treats nice or she snatches them out of your hand and might take your hand with it - if you hand actually fit in her mouth. The gerbil in his noggin runs real slow and takes a while to wake up. Bubba Pug, the best way to describe him is stoner. Trixie Pug is a mama's girl and whines if my GF goes out, even though I'm still here. Old Dude the mutt sticks to me like glue, and he's always so happy when I come home from work. In the bedroom, she can go from the bed to the window, but unless it is open enough for her to sit in, again she can't fit, but those usually turn into kitty parkour as she bounces off the window and lands back on the bed. Thing is, she always ponders the jump before trying it, looking up at the target. In the office there is nothing for her to jump on first, so she goes from the floor up to the window - but unless it's open, she can t fit, and falls back to the floor. My cat does that all the time, she likes to sit on window sills, but she can t seem to judge ahead of time if there is enough room for her to fit. Maybe I'll take the start of a roof I did off that one and melt the chewed corner and press it in like wreck damage. The only pet damage to anything train related is when Trixie Pug got hold of one of the covered hopper conversions I was working on and chewed it a bit. The other two dogs, they come right in when the door opens. Usually not a problem except when Bubba Pug is out, he will come to the door to be let back in, you open the door and he just sits there and stares at you for a whle before he realizes that the door is now open - that's when the cat likes to attempt an escape. Should she manage to get down there now, there are too many dead ends where she will be cornered.īigger thing is to keep her away from the back door when lettign the dogs in or out, she likes to try to run away. She hasn't been down since the new walls are up, which no longer give her the opportunity to run around in circles to avoid capture. No, no cats were harmed in the making of this post. She no longer attempts to sneak down every time you come up - the unpleasentness she was subjected to the first few times seems to have stuck, for now.
Generally from the door being left open an extended period of time. Yes, cat has managed to go down a few times. They do their business in the back yard, which does not require going through the basement.
Dogs: Not allowed in the basement unless they then proceedeth to the garage for a car ride.
