It's funnier to put my cats on top of the glass and let them try to capture the ball in play. I think of it as a low-rent version of the blinders from Tommy.

Quoted from o-din:You guys want me to tell you about the cat that decided to take a nap in the fan shroud of my buddy's car back in the day?
I didn't think so....
If ended like this one below.... 
Quoted from jrpinball:Many years ago, I used to bowl in a company league on Friday mornings after working the third shift. The bowling alley was located next to a rather poorly kept ASPCA shelter. One particularly frigid morning we had finished bowling, and one of my league mates went to start his car. It kind of locked up and wouldn't start, and when he opened the hood he discovered an obstruction in the belts. You guessed it! Apparently, the warm engine compartment was too much of an attraction for one of the strays, and it unfortunately it met it's end when the guy tried to start his car. To make the clean up a little easier, he had a friend drive him home, and he returned later that afternoon and by then the pathetic remains had frozen solid, making removal a little tidier. Sorry if I grossed anyone out, but this is something I'll never forget.
Sounded like the # 10 life was the nail in coffin...

Just goes to show you should have no vents in your pinball machine large enough for cats to crawl thru.
Quoted from Haymaker:Maybe I'm missing something, is it really that hard to vacuum up cat hair? My cat loves jumping into my games when I have them open but I always chase her out and I don't allow her to just hang out in them whenever she wants. I admit having a bunch of fur all over a game can be slightly off putting, but its a hell of a lot easier to clean up than a lot of other things that pinball machines get covered with.
It's an EM so the dander and hair (a lot of it) got inside of all the units and springs and tiny little gaps between switch stacks and behind and all over the harness, in the backbox, and I'm pretty allergic it seems, at least when it's not attached to the animal anymore. Not fun!

Ah yeah I could see how that would suck on an EM machine. Still, I have to imagine its pretty rare to have such an extreme case of that happening.
