Cats, The Enemy Within



No matter what kind of wargaming your are playing, the real enemy is cats. Sure they look all cute with those pointy ears and soft fluffy coats, but remember they are the devils familiars.



I have had cats eat and scratch up my terrain. There are few things worse in model building than to find the terrain you have been working on for weeks has been ripped to shreds by cats. Not only have you wasted all that time and money but now you have to clean up the mess. My Lost World game terrain was totally destroyed by these long tailed varmints.



As a result of this and other outrages, involving vomit and even worse, cats have been banned from the wargame room. Any intrusion by cats results in an immediate response. Fortunately, I have found the perfect weapon in my war against them. It has a valid hobby use, it is sold everywhere, it is cheap, it does not hurt the cats, and they hate it; canned air. Those spray cans that are used to spray air into your dusty computer parts, or to dust off the rigging of your ship models. It works perfectly to scare cats away too. They hate it so much, that after a time or two, they don't even have to be sprayed with the air, just the noise will drive them away.


Leaving the wargame room safe for simulated warfare.
