Quoted from JeffZee:She was a Pixiebob. They don't always come with tails. Lost her to kidney failure this past summer. We'll probably go cat shopping in January.
That's sad, hope you get another cat soon.
Quoted from sparechange1974:Here's Jackson, he's 9 months old and still a big baby. I haven't let him come downstairs yet with the pinball, he's got this bad habit of trying to hang from ledges right now so that would not be good. The pinball's definitely call him though, anytime there on he's trying to get the door open.
Ocicat? Really neat cat!
Whoa Nellie! Yes, how expensive is that cat? Least expensive I've found is the 9 month old in Tennessee for $1500. Found another for $20k
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Looks like an Abyssinian. Is that correct? We almost adopted one from the no kill shelter, but someone else took him before we could. He was AWESOME.
He looks happy.
Chris
She's a Ruddy Abyssinian and has the whole place to herself. Chases off anything that enters her territory.
Quoted from Tommy_Pins:Custom topper.....what are the chances of a cat breaking the play field glass while jumping down?
Cats have a soft suspension. Doubt the glass would break.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:That would be a great experiment.
I measured the distance as 30" vertically from glass to top of backbox. When they jump from box to glass it takes .39 seconds and they are traveling 8.6 mph when they hit. The force is divided between their paws. I would say mostly their front paws hit first but they don't stop instantly, instead they decelerate slowly and also use their rear paws to finally stop.
The leap from glass to box requires an initial velocity of 8.94 mph to reach a height of 31.7" with an 85 degree release angle. I'm guessing that most of that force is applied with only the rear paws. There is a fair amount of variability with that since the cat could jump higher than needed and come down on the box or start further back on the glass. It seems reasonable that the force applied is a more gradual change compared to the near instant stop required when jumping from the box to the glass.
From my calculations it seems more force is applied when jumping from the glass to the backbox.
Discuss.
My cat agrees!
Quoted from pinwiztom:Does pin that have anything to do with North Korea and Kim Jong Un??
Rocket! is a kitten, not a pin.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Is his name “Rocket!” ? Because that would just be perfect
Yes, "Rocket!" is his name. He's a 7 month old Ruddy Abyssinian. Lives up to his name.
Quoted from mollyspub:Why is your cat so thin? He's ok I hope.
He's fine. Rocket! is a 10 month old Abyssinian and the're slender cats. He's fed plenty and is quite healthy.
Quoted from newovad:Left the Wizard upstairs to work on it. Katniss found her new favorite bed.

Love the cabinet, very nice!
Quoted from Azmodeus:She is starting to tell me when she wants to play it.
What breed of cat?
So sorry you lost your cat. Nice story. Hope you one day find another cat to keep you entertained. They make great companions.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Found these 2 tiny little guys hangin in my yard today....trying to tell myself I don't need 2 more pinball kitties.....but damn they're cute! [quoted image]
Mother not around?
Gotta go to one of those things called a Wedding. Hate leaving him alone for 2 nights. I still will be able to monitor Rocket! and help is just a block away.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Odin(5 month old Maine Coon) is not allowed in the room with the pinballs, but I suspect that he'll sneak in eventually. I did just pull open a Space Shuttle head that was FULL of cat hair.
At least, I hope it was cat hair.....[quoted image]
Cool looking kitten!
Quoted from jhanley:Scout hates her cone.[quoted image]
How’d you even get that thing on? Gave up trying on my spayed female, she survived just fine without it.
Quoted from girloveswaffles:This is an older iMac in my garage. I caught her trying to order some high grade cat-nip from Amazon. But she didn't know there was no internet connection on that Mac. She's still trying to figure out how to use the WiFi:[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Meet Cheetah! She’s a very vocal girl. About 1 1/2 years old.

I think he actually prefers Wizard! My guess it’s a very warm machine.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Nice! I literally had to upgrade mine like a pinball machine recently. The tech was like “uh, I don’t know if you’re comfortable plugging in electric things...”. I’m like “I got this..”
Now the cat RIDES in it when it turns. I am not kidding. We had to give her a bath after she kept getting litter and poop matted in her fur because she would just let everything cascade down on her. Then she jumps in my face while I’m working. Thanks...
I’ve had the “robot” for about a week and it ain’t ate a cat yet! Not sure where Cheetah is, probably in a cupboard.

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:I know this isn’t “cats and pinball” and this isn’t even my cat, but I saw this pure bred Maine Coon today and had to post it. This is the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen. Check out those ears. He looks like a lynx. The owner told me he bought him for $1800 a year and a half ago. And now the breeder is selling them for $2400.

Love those huge Maine Coons. Would love to adopt one some day.
Quoted from cosmokramer:Had to put my kitty down a few days ago. She was just over 20 years old.
I miss her...
[quoted image]
Sorry to hear that. I can kinda relate to how you feel.
Quoted from nerbflong:After my 15 year old calico Pumpkin had to be put to sleep, I adopted two new family members.
[quoted image]Donut looking things over.
[quoted image]Cookie taking a step to look game show over. (taken in low light lol)
Best thing about adopting two is you don’t have to worry about buying kitty toys. Just stuff being knocked over and loss of sleep.
Quoted from pinwiztom:We have a feral cat (or the cat owns us) that lives on or under our back deck.
We call him Otis or O-Tee.
Last month he must have gotten into a big fight with something
as he was gone for a couple days and when he returned
his right eye was closed shut and when we were able to see him open it slightly
the eye was bright red throughout.
We were not able to get close enough to the cat to grab it to get it to a vet to get checked out,
so we just fed it as normal and waited.
This past week he has been opening the injured eye more often and wider.
The eye is now more pink and white, and one can not really make out an iris or pupil;
so he is likely blind in that eye.
Curious coincidence, a couple years ago we had another one eyed semi-feral cat (Kevin) that lived on our back deck for a couple years
until a neighbor moved and took the one eyed cat with him.
Both were orange tabbys.
Though Kevin was a whole lot friendlier and not afraid of humans or dogs,
but he did have problems with all other cats.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Cats have three eye lids. Hope the eye is just in the healing process.
Quoted from Alan_L:In proportion, I think that if I had just shit a four foot turd, I'd be a little more tired than normal too.
Poor guy is recovering from the “dump of his life”
Quoted from pinwiztom:One or two bad apples spoil it for all the others.
Another cat peed on the bed again,
fortunately we had the water proof mattress pad in place.
But this will be the last straw for the wife.
No cats allowed in the bedroom anymore,
door closed at all times from now on, even when sleeping.
This will be hard on my wife and the cats
as most all the cats spend time on the bed at various time throughout the nite.
But in long run it will be for the best, as it will keep our bed cleaner,
no longer having to lint roller the sheets for hair and litter.
Your cats are gonna win this war. You’re gonna open the door to get some sleep.
Quoted from Bundy:My MET got a new soft topper
[quoted image]
Nice looking cat! The white coat and eyes are very nice.
Quoted from TheLaw:Well everyone I'm back.
Been awHile sense I had a young one...forgot what's its like; little devil.
[quoted image]
What’s his/her name?
Quoted from girloveswaffles:Do you find them, or do they find you?[quoted image]
Looks like Cheetah. She was found in my sisters barn as a kitten.
AD29AD2E-246A-40F5-9857-2386B2189681 (resized).jpegQuoted from girloveswaffles:So Cheetah is also a female? Only about 1 in 5 Orange Tabbies are. But I think Cheetah looks more like this guy:
[quoted image]
Last checked, she weighed in at a lean 17lbs. Big girl!

Quoted from bigguybbr:Nothing to see here!
[quoted image]
Oops, I see a cat! Looks a lot like Cheetah.

Not a pure ginger but a ginger indeed.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Odin thinks I misaligned the guide. He may be right. (and he also noted that the gate is backwards, but it's just to determine location).
[quoted image][quoted image]
Odin, he’s back! But he’s now a cat?
Quoted from Atari_Daze:Lucifur waiting for his snip snip this morning.[quoted image]
Poor guy
Quoted from ray-dude:Data's cat in the series wasn't a black cat, but I'd like to think that Data would name all his cats "Spot"
[quoted image]
It was a Somali, a long haired Abyssinian in case anyone one wondering.
Quoted from MrMikeman:He had about 4 different actual cats during the series(although the character cat was always the same). Most were short haired. All were gingers. Started as male but then was female later in the series. Lol
Lol
Quoted from Neal_W:Cats love stepping on buttons. I haven't had a cat in years but I still put all remotes face down by habit.
Mine have the nasty habit of knocking the batteries out and hiding them under the couch.
Quoted from DarthPaul:Bought one of those but one of my girls refused to go in it and my big boy could barely fit in, had to send it back.
I’ve got 3 cats and they are very productive in the “poop” department. Estimated cat weights are 7lbs, 9lbs and 15lbs. I love the litter robot and have just resurrected the one that died about a year ago. Now I have two which is perfect.
Quoted from Electrocute:Getting 3 cats in one pic can be a bitch. Dammit Ruffles![quoted image]
Quoted from blueberryjohnson:Orange one looks guilty.
That would be Cheetah and she weighs more than the other two combined.
Quoted from Drewscruis:You turn them on just for the kitty's, admit it. Lol
Yes, I do. Tonight they’ve all chosen Sky Jump.

I’d have a lot of explaining to do if anyone saw that in my kitchen.
Quoted from 2manypins:Saw this on Facebook

Where did you get that chair, Gameseum surplus?
Quoted from jhanley:Piper is getting bigger. My daughter adopted her at the Reno shelter. What a great place to adopt cats and dogs.
[quoted image]
Large paws.
Quoted from Arsenal129:That is a very nice fluffy cat. Happy turkey and cat day everyone- although around here everyday is cat day. As it should be.
Believe the cat was tossed into the fluff cycle.
Quoted from transprtr4u:We spent a week in Mexico, the hotel cats probably gained 10 pounds thanks to my wife .
Could smell that salmon coming!
Whenever I eat at McDonalds I never forget to feed the “parking lot birds” my left over French fries.
Quoted from gumnut01:We had real acceptance issues between Charlie and the kittens. Urinating and poo marking. All that shit, haha. It got better after a year or so. Now they all coexist. They’re not besties and there is teasing from the kittens now and then. They herd him and pounce on him. There’s some hitting back and forth now and then. But in winter they will all climb onto the same lap and now and then there is communal washing. My advice is to have communal treat giving. That’s where they all behave and are nice together. Communal licking of plates, spoons and hands. Get their mouths together. It’s not easy and they will never be best friends. Just what i found. Your situation may be completely different. But we went from full growling, hissing and attacking to something that is sort of harmonious. Then again we combined a fully fledged Alpha male with 2 boy kittens. We weren’t combining fully grown cats. But Charlie is no longer the Alpha male. He’s now accepted that.
I also had them in separate sleeping rooms for a few months then in they all went together in the same room at night. There were a few fights for the first few weeks but they eventually put up with each other.
Merry Christmas to you, your family and all your cats!
[quoted image]
Love the trio!
Quoted from Atari_Daze:Dammit Lucifur.
Saw these in my drywall work...
At least I'm not done.[quoted image]
Planning on building a house. Trying to figure out what material is cat proof. They’re destructive little things.
Quoted from Nokoro:My 19 year old daughter decided to turn our cat Freddy into a diva.
