There is something about cats and Lego, I have all my tubs out for my big organization project and as soon as I take some lids off thos tubs, my cat decides that is a good place to lie down. I had to put him in my daughter's room for a few hours so I could get some work done.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

I know exactly what you mean. Between my tubs of lego, my mom's Persian cat batting my bushels around, and the cats have a *fight* right in my town-it seems its the best playground!

My dog's not that bad. But whenever he wants to play, he runs around in circles right where everything is spread out. He usually sends pieces flying and broke my castle once!

My dog can't be bothered with my Legos that are all over the floor. My cat, however, likes to roam through my creations whether on the floor or table. I think she likes to play godzilla now and again.

I'm not sure I would want to argue with a 20-odd pound cat.

I only have a dog who has only chewed up about 5-6 pieces in her entire life. For some reason, she just doesn't seem interested in them.

I voted Dog. Becuase Ijust got a puppy for christmas and it likes to un into my room and a Legos piece from time to time. But I know what everybody means about the cats. I have two of them and they live mainly down in the basement so when I had my legos down there they always loved rubbing up agains a frgile spire ao lay in the middle of my lego town. And I can relate mostly to you Wlister because they would lay down in the tubs and get cat hair allll thruogh the legos.

My cat usually doesn't "interfere" with my Lego but whenever I make a castle she jumps on it. :evil: :evil: Strangely, she also jumps on board games as well.

"Strangely, she also jumps on board games as well."

Ooh, your cat must be related to mine. Rusty loves to jump right into the middle of a game of Scrabble and knock all of the tiles all over the place. We've learned to play games in the other room with the door closed.

Yeah most people would say that their dogs where a massive hazard to their lego's, but not me. :D
The first lego my dog chewed up was a fright knight, and she must have hated it, because she hasnt chewed up any more.

P.S I am more concerned with my cats peeing on them. hasnt happened yet luckily!

Yes, the aptly-named Loki has been at it again. And you can even see his tiny little bird-brain working. I mean, is it birdy art where he is merely learning the medium?

Image

Note how the pirate sabres begin with a few random bites, sometimes nearly severing the blade. Then he learns to modulate the pressure. This is followed by reshaping and elongating the blade in a progressively controlled manner.

The lance was more formidible - he barely bent it the first time. Then he learned he could bend it with more pressure and could work three-dimenional rather than bending in merely a two-dimensional plane.

Who knows what impressions he would have worked on one of the Little Armory scimitars if I hadn't caught the little %$#@! in time! :D

Hmm, my ares were out side ones, so they never got close to my legos. Well, once i left some outside, but once the dog weewee was cleaned off, the bricks were as good as new... (maybe a little yellowing hehe)


But the cats on the other hand. They're obessed with batting around those little green shrubs, sometimes i wonder whose toys they are! A lot of them have been lost thanks to the cats. That is why i voted for cats for being the worest

wow two tonic, im really impressed how your bird has worked those pieces!
It's a Christmas Miracle!
