Bet he spotted the problem and it was a classic case of sleep deprivation. Probably slept on it and upon waking, the issue had resolved itself. Max is da Man.

I don't think I've posted pictures of Violet in awhile. She really likes the EMs for some reason. Whenever I play, she'll come in and either lay under one of the machines or sit on Skyline or Safari. I the she has claimed Sky-Line as her own.

I've created a bit of a monster. I wanted to see if my cat Molly would like pinball, so I showed her my machines. Now, she is always lying on my Special Force, and when I play WOZ, she watches. At least she hasn't gotten her paw prints on my invisaglass yet.

if i take a picture of my cat you'd swear we have the same cat.

I don't doubt it. I've seen lots of lookalikes for my cats, both new and old.

Our giant cat likes to remind me that frequent breaks will help me to avoid repetitive stress injuries...

The cat stole a rubber from my parts bin, then the dog stole it from the cat followed by them taking turns running around the house with it.

Just be careful that neither swallows the band. It could get stuck and block their intestinal tract. One of my cats will swallow my wife's hair bands if they are left around once the cat is done playing with them.

That cat looks so similar to mine. I'm still not sure what he is, we think he's part main coon part something else, what do you think ?

We were told by someone that our cats might be "Norwegian Forest Cats" but I haven't got a clue. We got our cats (two brothers) from the Humane Society.

This is Lumi; she's our one-year-old Ragdoll.

She didn't care too much about any of the machines until recently. Sometimes she'll walk into the garage and help me with my repair work...

A couple of weeks ago she tried to help me fix the DW.

At the same time, she decided to inspect my most recent machine. I think she likes the name of it!

The resemblance is amazing, I looked up Norwegian forest cat and it does have a lot of the same characteristics. I've had many cats over the years but these ( main coon mix, or NFC or whatever they are) have very unique personalities. Very playful even as they age and just great temperaments.

I didn't get a picture (it was 3 am) but the other night I was breaking down KISS getting it ready to take it to its new home. I had the head off, manuals packed up, back glass and legs wrapped up and the game body was locked up sitting on the pin dolly, and we went to bed.

My wife woke me up twice that night worried about the cat becausr she wasn't around. Finally, reluctantly, I got up and started looking. It didn't take long and I called out to my wife... "Look at where YOUR cat is!..."

Standing in front of KISS looking towards where the head would normally be was Ellies head. Our aspiring pinball mechanic was poking her head out of the back opening looking back at me like "um... a little help here, I'm stuck.

I can never get my 4 month old cat (Himalayan?) to sit still long enough to get a good pic.

You need a new picker. No wonder my rings keep coming in the wrong size.
