Quoted from Spencer:

Brother and sister. As kittens loved each other, not so much anymore. Not much into pinball either..

Beautiful!

He is gorgeous!

I took this video accidentally in Slow Motion, but I think that makes it better.

Freddy's favorite spot in the basement is on top of Special Force (yes, there's a cat up there). Molly just likes wandering on the glass.

These pics of the cats on the games just kill me. Our two cats would rather die, or bolt around the game room almost crashing into one another, than jump up. Maybe that's good?

Its good and my cats are the same. My boy does like to sleep into the Elvira topper but thats about it.

Wow, pretty cool likenesses! We got Freddy, the black fluffy one, from a shelter when he was full grown. He's a licker, meaning that he will pin you down and incesantly lick you until he is satiated. He loves people and does it to everyone when he's in the mood. Molly on the other hand, whom we rescued as a kitten, just likes a good scratching and tummy rub and doesn't care for too many people outside the family.

No, I think Fester is waiting for Allibaster to be distracted enough that Fester can knock the drink off the counter.

Here are a couple pics of Loki, our new 4 month old rescue kitten.

He loves to chase the ball around on top of my Big Game. Funniest thing was the first time he was up there and the ball drained between the flippers, he immediately jumped down looking for it under the game!

He quickly learned the ball comes out the shooter lane when that happens. Smart kitty.

Mine (Artie) kind of did that - except he would lean over the front of the game and bat at the coin door. He, too, learned that it comes back at the plunger, and goes straight there now.

My sister came over last night to check out the BBH I just bought. Violet just had to be part of the action and decided to watch from Safari.

I guess she prefers not to hang with those other "Bad Cats".

This summer we cut down a 70-80ft tall fir tree near the front of our home.
My wife wanted a chainsaw wood sculpture made of the remaining 8 ft stump,
but instead of the normal bear, she wanted a sculpture of one of our cats.
Leroy, our long hair Himalayan type, was the candidate chosen to be the subject.

That looks GREAT! How did you find someone to do that? What do you search for in the yellow pages? Craigslist? Would you be willing to say what it cost? Or even a general price range? How long did it take them?

I just googled : chainsaw sculpture near salem oregon
there were 3 guys in our general area,
of course Oregon is logging country so the per capita might be higher here than elsewhere.
It took two days, after letting the stump season/age for about 4 months to dry out a bit
and ooze excess sap etc.
Cost was more than a grand.
If we ever sell the house, the wife says we are taking him with us.

#1175 6 years ago

Might get some cool or funny wildlife pics if you screw an ear of corn on a wood screw into base of tree just below sculpture cats tail.
I assume you can attract birds, squirrels and deer w/ shucked corn spread out around, and corn cobs w/ corn screwed into tree base.
Would be great seeing pics of critters sitting on top of sculpture kitty.

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:

There are various wildlife in the area, including deer, coons, possums, squirrlers, feral cats and skunk,
but wife would rather not deface her baby.

Ever try to re-pin connectors with a kitten helping?

Those tiny pins are just too tempting for a cat.

Cat help is an oxymoron.

Funny how cats will always lay down on your tools. "Hey, looks like you can't get any work done, might as well just pet me..."

When I was in college my now wife and I had a cat named Moses. Whenever I would try and study, he would jump on the desk and lay on my Chemistry books. I got the the point where I had to sit down decoy books for him to lay on while I was trying to study.

My cat mittens always hangs out on my games. I spend as much time cleaning kitty prints off as I do playing! I wonder if he likes the heat from the crt’s. He must spend a lot of time on my pin though too, as the glass looks like a cat highway.

Meet Archibald (backbox) and Juliette (playfield), my mate's Maine Coons. Once they got the chance, they immediately jumped onto the Fireball II we just placed at his home. I think they must have smelled my own cat Pinky. She was always in, on or around the machine while I was shopping it at my home.
