Look below and you will see what is left of my Banner 1/350 USS Arizona. I was nearly done, too. I had it stored in the garage. It was a cold night, so I thought I'd be nice and let the cat stay in the garage. Next morning, I found the ship upside down on the concrete floor. I may still find some use for it. I have always thought about attempting a 1/350 USS Pennsylvania circa 1943 based on the Banner model with scratchbuilt parts. This may be the prefect candidate.

Cats Suck!!! Another excellent example of why not to have cats. There are more posts here where a cat has ruined someones model. I have no use for them I will stick with dogs.

Really strange...
I have cats for 14 years, and only have one "incident" which was actually fun - when I was building my Kriegsmarine Korveten Kapitan (in my gallery), James the cat got the impression of the bust to be a toy and knock it down from the working bench two or three times, but that was all. They seem to have more fun with the model boxes...
It's sad, but still recoverable!
