Seriously, she can't get enough of it! She's always hopping up onto my desk to drink from the cup I wash my brushes in. She has plenty of fresh water in her bowl but goes right for this. My theory is that it's like we would go out for a drink in a pub rather than having it at home. The kitchen is boring for her so she mixes it up now and then in my room!

Anyone else have strange hobby related pet stories?

My Dachshund ate one of my AoBR marines once.

My cat ate my SW shoulderpads once. Now they smell funny.

Oh man I'm sorry. Is he back in your army now?

My models get covered in cat fur alot...when they are being painted.

...The only possible way that could happen greatly disturbs and disgusts me.

Why?

Let me put it this way - What goes in, must come out.

I'm not wasting them.

My bird attacks my models from time to time.

My dog ate one of my expirimental "Heavy Combi-weapon Devastators".

Unfortunatley my dog died last week.

Downsides are, well first, my dog died, and I never got that mopdels back. I could have used those parts. Although I probably shouldn't have spilleed ketchup on it, though it made my Blood Red go funny.

Admit it:

Who else misread the title?
At least twice?

I love Yahoo Answers...

You really shouldn't let her drink that I imagine that's fairly toxic.

What did you read it as? I read the title and clicked on it.

GW paint actually isn't toxic. I made a thread about this sometime ago because i suck on my brushes to make the bristles stay together. I mean its definitely dirty and all but it won't kill you/the cat.

I did. I keep missing the "I" in "Painty"....

I have one of my Landraiders sitting on a chair, and my cat likes to nap on top of it(amazing considering he's really big)

Fortunantly its a solid model.

oh, you did to huh?

lol, I actually use the GW paint brush holder/water cup thing now due to my cat deciding she doesn't want to drink water out her bowl anymore.

Our cats won't drink out of their water bowl.

Paint water however is the ambrosia of liquid. I have to fight to dip my brush in as they always have their heads stuck in the paint water bowls.

That is why dogs are better. They can't get up on the table, and even if they do, they soon learn not to if they want to sleep inside.

The cats come in useful as trecherous terrain. (I have proof, see my gallery :p )

But normal water doesn't have the minerals cats need, that's why you give them lovely fresh water in their water bowl, and they'll drink out of a dirty puddle or something outside, bottom of the shower, toilet bowl, or your paint water.

PANTY WATER

My one cat loves the painting water, hence why it is now kept on a shelf well out of kitty's reach.

I've never caught her doing it but... there tends to be far less water in the glass when I come home from work. Too much to be evaporation.

She also steals my "slave" model from the DE. I dont know why... Gretchin, Marines, Bitz... she leaves them allalone. The slave... She hides under the couch.

I read the title to this as My cat drinks my PANTY water. im thinking to myself , WTH is panty water.

Water you wash underwear in?
