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!

A couple of nights ago my wife's cat "Morris" sat down in the Ticket to Ride box. Didn't have a camera handy, but I'm sure we can reproduce it. He loves being in any sort of box, drawer, or cabinet.

I've seen pic's of dog's playing poker, but now a dog with a stack o' cash and his paws on what looks like some prime real estate! "Bucky" is one dog I'd be cautious about attempting a bad trade with! ;)

 "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!

It all makes sense now - that cat fubar awol and the reason he hates the game so much is that he's never allowed to play with the pieces!

 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!

Imagine trying to get the cat to bite out exactly the same size piece out of all the other cards so you couldn't tell them apart from the back.

This my overally curious cat, Graymalk. We named her after the cat from Roger Zelazny's "Night in the Lonesome October".

So are Geeks mostly cat people?

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.

Great list. We have one cat (and lots of Zyrtec on hand for the allergies), he ignores the games. However, we have three ferrets who LOVE to interrupt any game. Tables are a must if these guys are out.

A very special "Thank You" to both Max Maven and Ender Wiggins for the fantastic additions they've made to this GeekList! I'm not sure what the cats on this list seem to like more, little game pieces or nice and snug cardboard boxes to rest in. Here's to all the Geek Pets!
