Dennis!

You’re the creator of the first cat, dust collector.

You should get a patent on this.<(;O}#

I would have to say at least deaf!

That’s one interesting cat.

Really Neat.

I imagine you have to be extra careful- covered with saw dust like that, you might not see her and trip over her- or worse, step on her!

Looks like my shop. But my visiting cat keeps herself a little cleaner.

I’ll have to get a picture of Kattie Kitty.

It’s amazing that these critters are oblivious to the dangers that are obvious to us; trusting us to make sure they don’t get hurt. They become part of our lives and we let them, then pretend to be annoyed. It’s clear the Squeak is quite confident in her position and knows that you’re a kind man underneath the Grumbles.

you sure you didn’t leave a prescription bottle open, or maybe some medicinal brownies unattended?
My dog will sleep by my tablesaw, or on the lawn when i am mowing it, but he is just lazy, not blind or deaf.
never seen a cat do that though. it must really enjoy your company.
thanks for the post

Hi Dennis;

I thought the dogs were bad. When I use a router, they’ll stand there watching, and blinking.

Stupid dogs!

I heard a story where a guy was sawing at his table saw and his dog jumped up on him, pushing his hand into the blade. I hope your cat doesn’t cause an accident. He sounds pretty cool though. I can’t believe how comfortable he is laying among that sawdust. Really amazing. By the way, try using Nature’s Miracle on the carpet, it will eliminate any stains or odors.

Before she lost all her sight she would jump up on the table saw and walk right towards the moving blade. I do have to keep an eye on her.

Very strange acting cat.

aaaaaaaaaaw sitting on your shoulder.
I’m glad I got to meet her!! Big squeeze to Squeak!

Cute

-- "so much to learn and so little time"..

I found Squeak dead this morning. She was 17. I need to go clean her sawdust piles one last time…I’ll miss her.

oh Dennis :(
I’m so sorry.
17 .
Still….. :(

Dennis, I am truly sorry to hear of the loss. You become so attached to the little critters…

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

That is an unfortunate loss. 17 years is a long time and them critters make themselves part of the family. I am most sorry.
