Quoted from goingincirclez:
Shelby finally snuck into the Curiosity Club tonight...
...as is her wont, she beat a hasty exit once I spotted her

Cut photo of kitty exiting a coin door.

My cats do that every chance they get or try to get into the machine if I have the playfield up or sometimes I've come from a bathroom break to discover I have a cat wanting to help "fix" the machine. One thing that odd, I have 5 cats and none of them like to chase the pinballs even in multi-ball. My 2 youngest enjoyed doing that some as kittens. I have cats that chase anything else that moves. So I'm a bit surprised they don't enjoy trying to "catch" a pinball with glass on or off.

We got rid of an old cat tree to make room for this, and Ringo is already enjoying the upgrade.

At least no bashing, peace and nice people ... !!

After our old cats died , we have sisters now ... sorry , but no pinball. Girls are not so interested as our old tomcat was ...
Hopefully they will become between 15 and 22 years old like our "old zoo".

I have two cats and I asked them to stay away from my games. None of them play pinball anyway.

This said, there is this one neighborhood cat named Miles who locked himself in the garage where I keep my games and was stuck there for three days. He used the top of my freshly restored TZ as a litter box. Luckily I had protected it with two heavy towels that nicely protected it from any damage.

I have been encroaching into the cat's "space" ever since I started buying pins and while the game room in still a work in progress I finally removed their toys to make room for MY toys.IMG_0356_(resized).JPG
The cat-tree and ramps had to move to to the other side of the wall into the storage area

but I had to leave them a "crows-nest" where they can watch from up high without being on a pin

Nice! I'm going to install some similar ones in my living room so he can get on the mantle.
But the basement always have to have a secret cat exit

Ike's just as comfortable sleeping on Mata Hari. He must recognize his big brother. I keep telling my wife he would make a good rug someday.

We call this cat pinball. There is a captive ball they can bat at and it bouces around making a good amount of noise. Sometimes both cats will sit on either side and knock the ball back and fourth.

I showed this to Violet and she is anxiosly awaiting a build thread......Ok, well maybe not anxiously, but for a cat, she looks pretty interested......right after her nap.
