OMG! I thought I've seen it all until now! I guess it could be saved by ripping off all the carpeting and fixing it up somehow with paint and side art.

i cant keep my cats off of my cabinet as it is, im constantly brushing loose fur off of the panel.  I could only imagine what it would be like covered in carpet

here is an old picture of Roger testing out the stability of the recently contstructed control panel...(cabinet has since gone through many changes)

Does anyone elses cat like to play with the trackball?  My cat gets on the CP and uses his front paws to spin the trackball.

One guy I know has a motion sensor mounted above his cabinets that sets off a buzzer when the cat tried to get on top of them.

Yeah, I do not know if this ever came to fruition, but someone was talking about the Pimpcade and putting fir on it. After spending as much time as it takes to make a full blown cab, I can not imagine wanting to cover it in carpet or fur.

Looks like that stuff they cover the walls in at the old skating rinks, so the walls had a little padding and wouldn't bust the little ones heads open on cement when they trip. That thing would be a Hide-N-Seek-Cade in the ole rink. Specially with the lights low. Some kid would probably tip it over slamming into it thinking it was a wall.
