Hmmm, a mouse deciding to chew its way into a castle.

A ferret that stole a building, which never appeared again. (But was so darned cute while stealing it that you had to smile. One time that I wish that I had a camera. )

And a mostly Siamese cat that seems to have adopted one building as hers. (She also curls up in my jacket and rolls around on my backpack purring wildly if I leave it where she can reach it. Something about my scent seems to drive her nuts.)

No dog, horse or llama incidents yet.

The Auld Grump

Not so much a gaming thing but related, my cat Tigger seems to have some fascination with this Ral Partha Tengu miniature I have on one of my lower gaming shelves. Cats and birds, what can you do?

I do recall an incident many, many moons ago when I was a lad, playing 2nd ed Space Marine (ie Epic) at my friend's house. Having no suitable surface, we played on the floor on some 2'x3' boards butted together (epic minis + shag carpet + basement lighting = no fun). For some reason one day when we were in the midst of a game his dog Sierra came barrelling down the stairs, ran around the basement, scattered the Imperium's finest across the universe and bolted back upstairs again.

My parrot used to beak my prototypes. They were "Parrot Fresh".

I have to chase my cat out of our home office constantly as he seems to like getting into any plastic bag around. Plus his fur constantly works its way into the computer vents!

Anyway, he's knocked over stacks books, models, paper, you name it trying to get into bags, whether they are empty or not wouldn't be such a bad thing except for the fact that he weights around 18 lbs and is strong, so he manages to knock stuff over in his entry efforts.

The dog usually comes into the office also, but he likes lying down under the desk at my feet, and doesn't usually mess anything up, that is, unless I yell at the afore mentioned cat, who then runs out of the room and of course the dog has to get involved with scolding the cat so...

Also, I used to have prairie dogs, but had to restrict them from the office as they kept chewing the computer cables! My old laser printer cable had so much electric tape on it that it was almost completely black instead of the default almond color they come in.
