Well for most guys it is their best friend. Mine is, but he aint exactly human. I was runnin my little N scale trains and guess who came a taggin along and hoped up on the table to run some trains with his owner. I think that my cat, Challenger, might like my trains more than I do!
I dont know about cats. I have two and thier flight or fight reaction to the HISSS of the PRR T1 on the workbench undergoing programming is something to behold. They turn from docile and demanding housecats into Lions seeking prey.
Cats and layouts don’t mix well in my experience. My cat isn’t even allowed in the layout room.
A while ago, before I had my layout today, I would be running my trains and I would hear a meow. And it was my cat , she decided to hop on the layout. Whell after being cautious about the trains, she got along just fine with them. But then she got a little too confterbal and layed on the track. For the first couple of times I would lighty bump her to get out of the way. But by now it was getting annoying. So I reved up the train at half way throttle and hit her. Meow!!! and she jumped up and hissed at the train and started ripping away at it, But it was too fast and got into staging. So she waited at the whole, and when ever I got a little bit of a trsin out she would pounce at it. Later she forgot abput it and did the same thing again. So I hit her with the train again(More lightly) and she hissed at it, but instead of attacking it, she jumped off the table and ran up stairs and hid for acouple of hours. Now she never sets foot in the room.
N.A.C.T. (not another cat thread![:O])
Just wait…When you least expect it…Ahhhhhh…CRASH!
Just a short word, I have 11 Cats on my HO layout, They ride on flatcars and are never any trouble.

Not a Kitty
This was taken just before she grabbed the caboose and ran into the other room
and chewed the cupola off
I think she thought it was an electric snake
Why the concern about cats? My cats love sitting on the railroad, and so does the chicken. What’s the problem with that???
Looks like your train really brings home dinner!
Does it deliver fruits and veggies too?
Spooky, my 18-lb. Maine Coon Caboose Thief.
She’s very careful, though. She waits until the train is stopped before taking off with them, bless her little furry soul.
