CATS HATE MY PIGGY BANK

Thats right, for one reason or another, all small "domesticated" pets with four feet and whiskers have some kind of great contempt for my change repository. Note how his left ear is cracked throughout...that is the result of the most recent incident. I went to bed only to wake up to the sound of a large thud followed by the CACHUNK a bunch of quarters makes when it hits the floor. The cat must have been tired of the way the pig stared her down with those beady little eyes. She had to have done it on purr-puss (sorry)... how can a six pound cat push five pounds of quarters and piggy bank off a desk by accident? Luckily, because of all of the credit card stickers, most of the pieces were held loosely together. It took me a good hour to glue him back together using Mod podge. Some of the pieces were missing...vaporized when $75 worth of quarters ground them into dust particles. Interestingly enough this is not the first time this piggy bank (heretofor known as Chip) has been the target of ferral like violence. Shortly after I received him, he was knocked to the floor by a previous cat. Luckily he was empty at the time. Regardless, his entire posterior popped off, but the fractured porcelain was easily reattatched with ELMERS glue. I give you, Chip ...well, "give" as in "you can look at this picture of him", not as in "you can take him home."
