Shiva has discovered the X Files.

A spooky looking cat on an X-Files. Well played.

Jube and Dorito helping

I bet the tabby likes incandescent bulbs and the fancy long hair likes LEDs.

Mom is a snowbird (spends winter in FL and summer in NY) and is riding out the pandemic at my house with her cats. Jubilee has claimed Stars.

Guest cat Jubilee is enjoying watching me play Pinball Arcade on the PC, but when I flipped on Twilight Zone, I got some funny looks.

Quoted from G-Bee:

My cat is fascinated by the Rocky & Bullwinkle pin. Everytime I turn on the machine, he has to jump on the glass. Today was the first time he saw the glass come off, so of course this happened

I keep looking at your cats cool markings and rotating it around. T-REX fighting an HR Giger Alien?

Nope... Penguin playing pinball!!

Quoted from Drewscruis:

This is zak, apparently he didn't get the memo on how to use a scratching post.....

They talk about black cats and the occult. Maybe he used to belong to a magician?

Need to get a wider pin for that kitty.

Quoted from matiou:

Myshka likes helping me fixing my EBD...

I think he is searching for all the balls that went down the drain and he's not taking no for an answer!

S-J is reaching for the shift key. Probably virtual pinball curious.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

She’s been scratching open a sore on her head.

In my limited experience owning cats, that sounds like a 'hot spot'.

Walrus had a big hot spot on his neck when we got him and had been treated and shaved there. I just know it healed quickly after he arrived.

Walrus turned out to be the coolest cat ever. My favorite memories were working at home, and I would call his name, and hear him rumbling through the house and arrive in my office doorway, then I would pat my leg and he would jump right up and settle in for hours. He seemed to behave like a dog, always running to the door to welcome guests and sit with them. On a vet visit, I pulled him out of the carrier and sat him on the table and the vet commented "Wow, Great Cat". I guess he could tell.

Here is Walrus with Meetsie, a smaller "patch tabby".

Quoted from Coyote:

This was spotted outside my parent's home

I wonder if they normally keep fish in that fountain. Probably not that bobcats first visit.

Quoted from zr11990:

We opened a drawer and he was in it.

Not the first bizarre cat story I have heard like that. That 9 lives myth is no joke!

Mom and her cats are back in town. Dottie the Cat is the social distancing champion.

I see 3 cats.

Quoted from Spiderpin:

I put magnets on my towels at the top.

You can also use the magnets to keep the speaker panel from sliding down when you have it flipped open.

Spring has sprung and mom is headed north, so I got a short stopover visit from Jubilee.

Quoted from boagman:

a certain section of her person becomes "off limits to you" and if you should happen to touch her in that quadrant, she reacts by acting like she's going to bite you but really she would just "tooth" you.

Yup, I have found with enough time petting and playing with cats, you finally develop a second sense of where the moving 'no mans land' is. (body language?) I hear the Terminator callout in my head - "Pet here and here".

Quoted from ToucanF16:

Saw this cat at PHOF last week. Very friendly.

He has flipper dust on his paws in the second photo. That is a pinball cat for sure!

Quoted from craif:

In particular, which pinball machine did you get for the second cat?

You could probably distract the other cat with an empty box or chair according to the above posts.

I think the spike2 pins have sound settings for bass/treble, etc. Have you checked those for your sound reflecting issue?

Sam was the center of attention while helping his mom with scorekeeping at TPF. They had matching denim jackets.

An awesome character.

Quoted from bigguybbr:

I got one, but Tubbins might have crushed it.

Perfect restoration project. I have restored worse. Nice coin door and other good parts there. Save it from the landfill. That marquee is minty. Lots of good parts there. I would take it. Hidden gem. If only I was closer. Is the control panel spoken for?

Putting a towel around a cat and holding at the shoulders is usually safe for nail clipping and unpleasant activities while avoiding scratches and nips.

Today at T+ 0.47 seconds into nap time...

Almost didn't see the white cat.

Those buff colored cats remind me of Apollo. He's shy, but sometimes settles in for a nap.

Quoted from VanishingVision:

He's stepped on the start button a few times, but he's not very good.

Cats love stepping on buttons. I haven't had a cat in years but I still put all remotes face down by habit.

Still a mystery about how the bat got into the house and kitchen

Like mice, they can jam in to tight spots.

Quoted from gumnut01:

Need a bigger scratching post….

They're adorable, but you couldn't pick 2 cats from the litter that weren't identical? I'm imaging the poor pet sitter... "the striped one with spots is hiding and the other spotted one with stripes is stealing his food".

Looks like he is ready to take on the demogorgon now! Time to decorate that box.

I would guess Maine Coon.
