I learned about cats and coin doors about five minutes after setting up my first game. (Ive posted this before but figure it fits this thread)

I know it's not pinball, but it's related. I was taking a picture of the Predator action figure I was thinking of using as a topper. My cat had other ideas. He jumped up on the table and attacked it:

Thanks! Im not sure what he is, I found him in pretty bad shape in the woods about seven years ago. I got him patched up and he's been with me ever since.

Finally finished my home improvement project for my game room. Was taking a picture and my cat managed to photobomb it.

Agreed. Never had a problem other than climbing inside the machine when I left the coin door open (which was my fault, got him out after unplugging the machine).

As far as play field glass, it's never been even a concern as far as I go. These machines are meant to stand up to being routed at numerous types of locations, I don't think a cat is going to pose much of a problem. (I've also seen my cat climb and jump on the machines plenty of times, no issues)

That's an interesting question. But unless your cat actively scratches at the glass, I doubt he poses much of a problem.

Mine didn't do any damage, but he did get inside it. I left the coin door open for a second and turned around. Next thing I knew, he had jumped inside. I just unplugged it, and let him come out on his own. I was more worried about him getting hurt than doing any damage to the machine.

But anyone who has cats knows how they are. If they see something new, they want to check it out.
