Never happened to me. Sorry.

**Mr Nobody**

I got a dog.

**xlightscreen**

Never happened, but I heard plenty of them from these very forums.

This post is too much for me to even mount a response quickly enough. I've failed, and subsequently will allow someone else to answer this most mysterious of questions.

On second thought, I'll give a stab at it. I have a kitty. She jumps on stuff, and I enjoy to shoo her away. Sometimes it makes my day that much more enjoyable.

**Ecurb The Mighty**

That's why I polish the table well. Kitty cat decides to jump up and slides ass first across the thing, decides it isn't worth it and won't do it again.

**juraigamer**

I've had a cat steal a mini while playing Pathfinder, but otherwise no nothing of the sort has occurred.

**Trickstick**

My friend has all his models on shelves in the living room. His cat keeps stealling the ones with banner poles and running off. She will also steal a dice and play with it for hours.

My cat seems to be ok. Sometimes she gets really curious when I am painting but i just shoo her away.

**warpcrafter**

Yep, that's why I'm glad my FLGS opened a game room. He still steals minis once in awhile, and is a ninja at hiding them.

**Brother SRM**

My cats would occasionally jump up onto the table, but they'd never chase dice or cause much trouble. They'd just walk around and be cats.

**Azure**

My kitten waits 'til I'm alseep then steals some of my unpainted minis. I'll find Necrons in the shower, Dreadnought in the fridge, or C'tan hanging from the ceilings.

**seejay**

My dog had no caution for himself or anything around him. I would be playing a game on the floor (yay for not having a proper gaming table) and he would casually stroll across it, sending minis flying everywhere, and be like "hai guys! what you doing??"

I'm more disturbed by 2 people playing side by side, it's like when you see 2 people sitting on the same side at a booth in a restaurant. Get a room seriously.

**1-UP**

Cat doesn't care one way or another, but my 3-year old has certainly done something similar. God forbid you get more than one of them in the same room as a battlefield just about to start its first turn.

But what if it's a couple waiting for another couple on a double date! What are they to do then? Sit on opposite sides or something? That could get awkward if only one gender is friends with the other, I'm thinking the two girls would probably be BFF's in this situation, and the guys would just kinda sit there making awkward sports conversation whilst not sipping on drinks. It's like they Need to sit on the same side in order to not make the whole thing awkward, have you never before considered this? How many have you silently judged??? D:

There is nothing wrong with sitting on the same side when you are in love. (-:

Haha, that's like every single introductory book I've ever seen come from GW. There are two grown men, on the same side of the table, with only one hand above the table. Makes you wonder about GW.....

**Deacis657**

When there are games at my house they are normally on the floor, the cats leave the board alone and don't care so much but my dog, a German Shepard, likes to walk across the board and sometimes lay on a part of the battle field. Even once knocked over part of a tau army, He was my Warhound titan for a game : D

**FyoraSilverwolf**

I get more problems when modeling/painting... Whether it's my boyfriend's little sister & cousin asking what I'm doing and wanting to paint too. {I gave them a brush and let them pretend paint, but that won't work when they get older...} Or it's my mom's Labrador/Mastiff or grandmom's Great Dane trying to sniff the glue on my model and knocking over the TV-tray table I'm working on in the process.

I don't think an animal or small child would be as bothersome during a game, though, unless they're the kind of child that really likes to break things. I've had a number of my models break & hours of work undone by my dogs... But it's probably partially because unless I'm at school, I use a TV tray to model & paint on, and at school there are no dogs.

I love my puppies though.

**econtutor**

This happened to me three weeks ago. My gf's cat destroyed our game of scrabble when I was going on a record breaking tear. F'ing cat, I swear I will make a hat out of it someday...

**Footsloggin**

With my friend's old cat, Buddy, if my friend who owned him "meowed", the cat would find and grab the dice box in his mouth, and bring it over to where we were standing...

**Ballasar**

I've seen cat-zilla wade through an entire ork hoard. I've taken a friend and his dog to the vet. to have 5 dice and 2 Tac. marines removed for the dogs stomach. I've had my daughter compleatly dis-assemble a master of the forge while I was in the bathroom seperating the fingers I glued together finishing him. Gotta love pets and kids.

**winnertakesall**

Also bought a dog, although he a rather large labrador, and has taken minis clean off my painting table with his tail, plastic models arent so bad, but the heavy metals one either break and/or leave a dent in the wooden flooring. Well, at least he is pleased with himself.

How the hell does your kitten open the fridge???

**Element206**

Pretty funny, but no never happened to me

**Lonecoon**

The Watch Tower in Columbus, OH has game store cat named "Squig." He sits on the tables and will bat at miniatures. Cute cat though.

I have often wondered this, and I cannot figure it out. My cats open sliding doors, deadbolt locks, I gave up trying to figure it out awhile back

**spireland**

Yep. Usually the cat walks on the table when we take a break.

The dogs also eat the dice if I drop them, so they both stink.

One of my dogs has eaten several models too....I never leave models unattended anymore.

**n0surv1v0rs**

My game has never been effed like that but upon painting my first mini ever(who I was quite undeservedly proud of) and while admiring it my dog grabbed it out of my hands and managed to murder that hapless khorne berzerker. Also something I was unable to witness(but I am painfully aware of because I had to put it back together) was when my dogs managed to get a hold of my defiler. I would say about 20ish percent of him is made of sprue and GS.

**Gavo**

Eh, nothing like this. But my dog almost ate one of my melta IG guys, that was terrible.

Moral of the story: Go dogs?
