Like your headphone incident, I have had the sleeve of my jacket get caught on the winglet of a model, particularly the A350s, and knocked them off the table. Luckily I have been able to repair most of those. Apparently cat's just have a mutual sense of dislike for models!
I did that with my favorite model when I only had 2 models (Both 1:200) and knocked it off my table destroying one of the main gears, removing some of the aerials and detaching the elevators. It was pretty sad since I used it for my very first stop-motions. Even worse it was an MD80 and I gave it a name because the landing gear rolls better than my 757. Now it sits on one of my shelves and the thing replacing it is probably my NG L1011 which I also love.Like your headphone incident, I have had the sleeve of my jacket get caught on the winglet of a model, particularly the A350s, and knocked them off the table.

That is extremely disappointing... Were you able to find a replacement?
Yeah it was. And I never got a replacement because I got it from Amazon and because I wasn't really able to afford one at the time. I think it's been around 3 years since I had it now. Though I have 1 model even more damaged than that and it wasn't even pet's fault.
That’s really sad. Maybe one day someone will rerelease it and you can replace it.
Here is my replacement model: 
Nice! Now you're making me want to make myself go even more bankrupt.Good news! I went to my local store today and got my replacement model. I’m very happy with it and I consider myself lucky that my cat did not get the model sitting next to it, my NG Qantas 787 Yam Dreaming, which would be far more difficult to replace. On another note, it was interesting to read all of your stories about accidentally breaking a model. I hope you all can replace your broken models like I did, so that your broken models’s stories can all have happy endings.

It's a beautiful model, I couldn't recommend it enough! Worth going bankrupt over.
Yeah but that's until NG decides to release something I really want like an Delta L-1011 or a L-1011 in lettuce so not worth going bankrupt over. I'm also starting to think we go more and more off topic the more we carry on with these replies.It's a beautiful model, I couldn't recommend it enough! Worth going bankrupt over.
Fair enough in both regards. Let’s stop.
If you still have the old SP you can use it as a storage/scrapping dioramaGood news! I went to my local store today and got my replacement model.

So sorry for your loss Oz... Don't be too hard on the little guy. Mine knocked an A320 off its stand. Luckily no damage to the model, but did lose the antennas... Oh well, an excuse to buy another. Thankfully too, it was a JC 320, not a favorite. I would be gutted if it were an NG ... chin up mate
That does sound like a decent business idea though. Buy models whilst cuddling with pets that need adopting. Like a cat cafe but with models!
