Hence the cabinets


The problem I have is one of the three cats, usually the one we named Loki (I know this was a bad idea as the mischief this cat gets into has been a bit of a self-fulfilling prophesy) tends to "capture or assault" my marines, orks and other models and knock them to the floor where the two dogs, a Lab/Sheperd mix named Koda and our Golden Retriever name Kiara will then join the fun by chewing them up and leaving the bits scattered about.

The real kicker is that Loki only tends to go after painted models and will ignore the bitz or any "grey" figures I have on the painting table. I had recently painted up a full units of Grots with a Runtherd that during the night after final touch-up and sealing was finished somehow ended up in nearly unrecognizable bits of chewed plastic all over the floor in about 4 different rooms.

The other animals have for the most part ignored my models.

My dog doesn't bother my models that much. My last cat used to eat them, but she also liked to piss on me as well, so she got a new home. My current cat treats them impassively. She'll sometimes swat one if it's in her way, but otherwise ignores them. My hamster... well... lives in it's cage.

I share my home with 4 Greyhounds, an old Dalmatian, a Galgo Espanol, the most evil parrot in the world (a blue crown conure) and our newest addition. Zilla "the Killa" a Bearded Dragon. We've never had any problems with models though since the Greys and Galgo are so tall they can easily see up onto my table and I had a scare with a missing bottle of superglue. Turns out I just had a brain fart and put it down in the bathroom.

I have two cats who tend to jump on the painting table and drink from the water dish (and knock down in-progress models)

I still wonder wether citadel paints taste good or do it just to annoy.

Raleigh, North Carolina

A Maine Coone (still have to spell that incorrectly) and a Pomeranian. The dog doesn't really mess with my models so much as he demands unending attention which can be bothersome while modeling. The cat on the other hand... I'm quite sure he's part shark because if there's anything he doesn't recognize laying around (such as miniatures that I don't typically leave out) he will walk up, take a bite on it to figure out what it is, and at that point may leave it alone or decide that it's good to chew on and bat around some more.

It doesn't help that he's a large cat, so standard-size boxes or things left to the side are easily knocked over rather than ignored...
