One of my cats jumped on the end of my CS1x and flipped it off of the stand a
few months ago. Luckily no damage was done to the synth.

Another time we had guests over for dinner and all of a sudden a CS1x arp
pattern started playing from the studio. Our guests asked what the music was
and we said it was our cat playing the synthesizer. They did not believe us, so
we had to interrupt dinner and go downstairs to show them. When we walked in
the cat was sleeping on the CS1x. I snapped a picture:

I tried for years to keep the cats off the synths, but in the end they won out!
