All:
I am pleased to announce that Maggie the cat has been given amnesty and access to the basement - workshop and train room. She's older (but not wiser) and less capable of vertical leaps, so the scenery is safe.

Now that she has basement privileges, maybe she can CAT-ergorize your diesel engine collection. Or rename your railroad......FE LINES (felines). OK....back to my job!

I also have two older cats, one is 20 and both are a little heavy and beings my layout is 50" high they can no longer jump like they when they were young (kinda like me) so my trains are safe.
When the 20 year old was young she loved decapitate all my figures and drop the heads next to the figure. She was like Vlad the impaler.
The first time I noticed it was when a bunch of train guys came over and one asked why are the figures headless? Every single one was headless as she was sitting in the corner of the layout watching the trains run and looking innocent!

Remind me again - just what is it you do around here?

Sometimes there's not much in them, but they are all theirs.

I have so much cat hair on the layout, in the drive gears, rolling stock trucks. I never see the cats on the table but the proof is there. I need to install cameras to catch them in the act LOL

We have four cats. Three roam the house and one stays upstairs because he's afraid of everything except my wife. I let them down in the basement once and found one of the engines on it's side. That ended their basement privileges.
When you have four cats they become daminals. The funny thing is I hear something hit the floor and I hear a stampede running from the scene of the crime.

I have been extremely fortunate with katz and trains! I've had
katz for 53 years and NONE of them ever bothered the trains! I
did have one that thought it would be fun to try to capture my
Standard Gauge #381 on my Christmas layout (on the floor) one
year.
Guess who lost THAT contest! Only tried once and after that just
was content to look at the trains and the layout. My newest kat
got his first Christmas with trains this past year. He is very
active and fearless and inquisitive. But he just sat there by my
old kat and watched the movement and noise. Didn't even bother the
village or tree.
He hasn't been with me for a full year yet, so he hasn't been down
in the basement with the layouts down there (yet) but I always only
let any of my katz down there in the layout room only under direct
supervision.
I did have a kat back in the 70s that would very carefully pick his
way through the Christmas layout when the trains weren't running and
sleep at the base of the Christmas tree. Never touched a thing on the
layout, though. Not even knocking any little people over!
Guess I have been very lucky with the kat lottery as all of mine have
been pickups or rescues.

We’ve got two dogs. Occasionally they will pop in during a train run but they look, sniff and walk away. Dogs + Trains = good

Good for the Cat... Name a CHessie car after it.
I have 2 shelties. I lift them up to see the trains and they are like, "uhm... ok you can put me down anytime now".
Now when I get my micro RC planes out to fly in the back yard. These two are all over that. That is their evening excercise routine. Right around 7:30 I start getting bossed with nudges and whimpers. "Get the plane, get the plane".
