New shop buddy

[Bobby McCarley]

The daughter said I had too much stress in my life so she felt that I needed a stress reliever. This is not what I had in mind. As you can see, it does not help in the shop by handing you tools or pieces of wood or offer words of encouragement. And it still is not use to some of the tools that make a lot of noise. It also needs to be taught tool safety. I was running the bandsaw when it jumped in my lap and was watching me cut out some parts for the plane I just made. All of a sudden it tries to take a swipe at the blade. Luckly it was too far away to reach the blade. After that, he's not allowed near any running tools. You just can't find good help now days.

He is a wonderful Shop Buddy! Think of him/her more as a supervisor than a helper (that's how HE thinks, after all). :D

Imagine all the sawdust he can clean up just by rubbing up against tools. Then lick it off and puke it back up in a neat pile on your shop floor. What could be more helpful than that?:)

You lucky devil! He/she is cute as a button.

[Jim O'Dell]

I can see the problem now...you worked the poor kit to death. Can't hold it's eyes open anymore. Hopefully someone that enforces the child labor laws won't see this. :D Have fun with your new shop buddy! Jim.

Cute lil' buddy you have there! I'm a dog guy myself (as if my avatar doesn't say that already) but they're all good for stress relief.:) You pet 'em, they love it and your stress just disappears. Everybody's a winner.:D

[Jim Becker]

Now, that is cuteness!

[John Kain]

Nice!

I have a Vizsla and Weimaraner who dig the smaller hand-held stuff. But when I hit the Table saw or Miter Saw or even Circ Saw, they are gone....:)

Shotguns don't faze them........but they sure hate that table saw!!!!

[Richard Wolf]

Looks like a good friend!

This will force you to keep making sawdust to keep the litter box filled.:D

[Lee DeRaud]

Very handy when it comes time to buff out the wax on the tablesaw top.:D :D :D

Nobody's going to mess with your shop, Greg! (Not even Bobby's new shop kitty!)

[Ted Jay]

...and they taste like chicken...... :D
did i say that..............?

Very Cool. My dog remains a respectable distance (around 6 ft) from any running power tools. But one of my cats is like your's. He has no problem jumping up on my lap while I'm sitting at a running drill press. They can be a PITA at times, but the good far outweighs the bad. Enjoy your new buddy.

Just remember:

Dogs have masters.
Cats have staff.

[Alan Schaffter]

Becareful, keep the cat box fresh. Our old cat would go on any pile of sawdust in my shop in a heart beat and cat urine smells - BAAADDDD!!!!

[Andy Howard]

Get a LitterMaid for your next tool gloat.

The littermaid is the best power tool your cat will ever use! And it will be his first gloat!
