Cats

Carnivorous quadrupeds in the family Felidae. Some modelers consider them to be indespensible companions while at the bench, others are certain that, if not outright spawn of Satan, they are at least in league with the Carpet Monster. Probably their most worthwhile contribution to modelling is on those rare occasions when they lose a facial whisker, which if retrieved can be fashioned into a nice anntenna, especially for armour subjects. Note: the administrators of Whiffpedia do not approve of using tweezers to pull the whiskers out of unwilling cats (if there's anybody watching...).
