Not sure it can be salvaged without many hours and hours of work as every thing is so interconnected. The more damage you strip away the larger and more difficult the task becomes. I got to admit I have lost a bit of enthusiasm for the work it at the moment. I can't really blame the trapped cat it was just fate, perhaps it was destined never to be completed.
I fully understand your loss of enthusiasm ! Leave it be for a little while and come back to it later.
I hate cats...You are right there certainly is!
After several hundred hours my HMS Fly, was almost complete save for one piece of running rigging. However, fate had other ideas! Yesterday was a beautifully sunny Bank Holiday in the UK, which we enjoyed at a friends house. However, on my return I entered my garage/workshop to find my pride and joy wrecked and hanging from the handle of a vice. I never did see the culprit, but it had left its calling card in the middle of the garage floor, so there is no doubt I had apparently accidentally locked one of the neighbourhood cats in the garage and in its panic the wreck occurred.I had been looking forward to a new project, but it looks as if it has been chosen for me! Sorry about the quality of the image, but I think you get the general idea.

Now, as a contrast, my cat, Mable, is a great appreciator of my ships, always inspecting the day's work, occasionally finding & drawing my attention to a 'loose end' somewhere,
Gorgeous paintings!
You could name it as 'After The Battle'.
Agreed…add some holes to the hull, a few scorch marks. Some appropriately sized dead people, and there you go. Bound to win first prize in a contest, especially with a diorama background! All joking aside, sorry for your loss…semper fiYou could name it as 'After The Battle'.
Not trying to rub it in. I feel your pain. But sometimes humor is the best medicine.
Or any place else that contains things you value.
I had just finished a model of a Great Lakes freighter, when my three year old decided to explore a spray can of paint. Guess what got repainted?You are right there certainly is!
