And here is one for the dogs:
Who says cats don't have a sense of humor? (Yes, this is firearms-related!)

OMG, Preacherman, that's hilarious! 
So, is your friend going to transition to revolvers?

For some strange and odd reason, 2 of our kitties seem to think the reloading bench is the place for a nap. Since we are having a problem keeping the office door shut, they wander in at will. KiKi kitty is the one who is in there the most and hubby is a bit peeved at her as she managed to knock one of the scales off the bench. The scale I am glad to say is not damaged.
Our kitties, those current and those who've crossed over the Rainbow Bridge all have this need to sack out in any gun case that happens to be lying open.

Oh, my! Have you seen a cat with a speedloader? I'd swear those things were made of compressed catnip or something...

Kinda gives a whole new meaning to "pussywhipped."
MY cat, OTOH, is a hunter. Whenever I get out the .22 rifle for a shot at a squirrel or woodchuck, the cat comes to my side, looks out the window at the critter, and POINTS!! (OK, that's not quite true.)
LOVES to watch critters go down, and the noise doesn't seem to bother him at all.

Just to resurrect an old thread...

When I moved in to my log house-which is buried in the woods, it came with my very own abandoned 1/2 Siamese 1/2 orange tabby porch-cat. I didn't know this cat had been on the farm for all of his (at the time) 10 years. I soon discovered a squirrel in one of the eves, in a very well hidden and difficult to get to portion of the house. Not wanting to shoot holes in my house I tried rat traps, have-a-heart traps, bait, etc. Nothing worked. One day while returning from sighting in my RWS 48 air rifle I spied the squirrel exiting his nest and heading for a meal at one of my bird feeders. In my best stealth mode (heart rate way up quickly) I loaded a pellet (.22) as quietly as possible, however the 48 being a side cocker was not quiet enough, and the squirrel hopped on to the roof and in to the back yard. Not wanting to miss this opportunity I headed around back quickly and spotted the miscreant next to the woodpile. I got to within 15 yards, aimed, got ready to pull the trigger when I felt something on the ground move between my feet. Fearing a snake my heart was really racing. I almost laughed out loud when I looked down and saw that cat, hair up on the back of his neck, pointing on that squirrel! Before I could get a bead on that squirrel again that cat took off like a blur, jumped on the squirrel, and well...you can guess the rest. I made one vain attempt to take the squirrel away from the cat, and, all I can say is when blue Siamese eyes turn red, back off! I have since seen this cat take a flying squirrel from a tree, and play matador with the dominant male in a deer herd. The cat is now 15, diabetic, gets 2 insulin shots daily, and still follows me like a dog all over the farm whether I'm hiking, cutting wood, or especially small game hunting. Oh yeah-needless to say this is one log house that doesn't have a problem with mice.

Cats, the other white meat...
about the ONLY thing a live cat is good for is in a barnyard... killing field mice... they most CERTAINLY aren't fit to be in my HOME...
if a cat did that to me, they'd be eating lead in NO time flat... (that is what a pump action BB gun is for... low powered indoor cat removal!
My dog, on the other hand, is one helluva pet, and is worthy of my love... SHE never destroys or steals my things, (except the occasional roll of toilet paper) even when she's mad at me...

My cat is too lazy to steal gun parts. She spends most of her days sleeping on the bed, or on occassion looking for a lap to hang out in. Right now she's keeping an eye on the dogs, since they're after her every chance they get...
If I had a tac light, though...she loves to chase the spot from a flashlight.

Preacherman, that was a great story! Reminds me of the time my very prim and proper bank VP brother came to dinner at my mom's house.
We were eating spaghetti and meatballs so my brother put a dishtowel over his shirt and took a seat in the living room to watch some TV. Well my sisters cat was laying down in the living room. All of a sudden the cat got up and just stood in place for a second or two.
Anyone who owns a cat will recognize the next scene. The cat bolted and ran over all the furniture in the living room like a possessed being. My mothers stereo was one of those old furniture pieces which she had just waxed that day. The cat makes the turn on the stereo and slides right into my brother and the spaghetti with sauce which then went all over his nice white shirt and suit. My brother jumped up and spilled the rest on the floor.
There was a moment of silence. Everyone in the house started to laugh like maniacs. Now my brother was very incensed and having everyone laugh at him put him over the edge. The cat must have known what was coming next because he took off and hid somewhere.
The sight of my my brother with a purple face walking through the house saying, "here kitty, kitty", while covered in tomato sauce was hilarious. He never did find the cat but I pulled a muscle laughing so hard for so long!

Anybody else here get cat hair in all your guns because your roommate is a "cat person"? You absolutely cannot remove cat hair out of guns. There is always one more, deeper in the mechanism. No matter where/when you clean, it is inevitable... 
I'd read that. We just tease ours as she is our backup food supply.

Just consider the cat hair on your guns as a new high-tech fibrous protein lubricant.
Just get used to it, if you own cats. They were really put on this planet to disperse hair. Everything else is just a side benefit.

That was a great story - thanks for bringing it back. We have a 4 year old cat and a 3 month old kitty. You'd think the older cat would show the little one what was ok and kick his butt when he's bad, but this little Charlie Manson act-alike rules the roost! He attacks the big cat constantly, and me or the wife when the cat isn't handy. And if all else fails his tail gives him hours of fun! Thankfully, he's not big enough to steal gun parts yet, but he will be.

I feel your pain.
I long ago learned the folly of trying to clean a gun while the cat's awake. Jake pretty much figures any small rolly-bouncy thing in sight is a toy (his toy). He does like to bat empty cartridge cases around (prefers .45), so if he's about, I wind up tossing him a .45 case, which he bats and chases for a while, then he brings it over and drops it at my feet for me to throw again, which tends to slow the cleaning process down some, but not as bad as if he runs off with a recoil spring.
