Every so often our pets/companions decide to pose alongside our games or more often they swat/chew a game piece. Its not always easy to grab the camera in time for these moments but here are a few. Some by chance, some due to their "owners" posing them, enjoy and please add to this list!

One of the few "action pics", as a fellow cat owner I have to respect the authors camera handling ability!

Pic number one of "Noodle", I just hope the only thing he does in game boxes is sleep!

A BGG classic pic from 1969, I personally enjoy seeing the cat "Misty", hover over the no parking spot, land on it and lose your game piece!

Seems the cats last standing black game piece has it entranced, talk about a poker face!

"Sassafras" (aka Sassy) also gets a hats off as mentioned for "Noodle", something tells me the moment the photographer left the room the gameboard setup changed dramatically!

My cats love using the edges of books, magazines and boxes to scratch on, this cat however appears to be either sleeping on the job or greatly modifying the cards size!

For completeness sake, here are the rest of my pet photos. Understandably, they don't get the same press as my poker one.

America In Flames? Looks more like "America Gets Clawed!" This pic also qualifies for the "Laminate Your Game Board Poster".

Comment by fractaloon about cats as game accessories:
"Used for ending games prematurely and to destroy counters and other pieces."

In line with the game scale and theme, this is a giant pre-historic sea serpent.

Well, think about it.
Dogs love to run around outside expending physical energy and looking stupid, while cats love to sit around inside playing with small toys.
It's a wonder any gamers own dogs at all.

Well, I own three male dogs, and my "almost-non-gamer" girl owns a female cat, and I love all 4 of 'em
