Wrong scale, I'm afraid, but hands up anybody who finds this familiar:

Seems a very respectful cat, taking great care as it moved about.  :thumbsup:

Normally very well behaved he does have his more awkward moments  :D

I've heard that a Relco can be a good cat deterrent

Most of the time it's more a case of "I'm not budging until the Cat Treats appear !"  ;D

Gives a different meaning to having to put up cat poles (OHLE reference), but seriously how many signs, structures etc have you had to replace or repair?

Short answer is not much. If he does get on the boards the only things to have suffered down the years were a couple of speed restriction signs and a few street lights slightly bent, and soon straightened again. None of the OHLE structures have even been moved slightly. Very dainty paws for a small cat😺.

We have 3 cats, none of which are allowed in the railway shed. The oldest would probably avoid everything and be okay as she is very dainty; the youngest would probably demolish all sorts of things as he moves extremely fast and tends to skid into things; the middle one would wreck everything, as she weight 8.5 kg!!!!!
