I would say time to put the cat down!

Actually, I'm impressed that you remember all the dates. In the 7+ years that I've been collecting, I've only had one breakage: Trying to negotiate the locked gate at our pool while drunk and carrying my Rum Demon coconut mug. As the gate closed shut it knocked Coco right out of my hand, shattering on the stone ground along with the couple ounces of Zaya that were inside.

I have witnessed much worse, but luckily not my mugs. When I was running the Thor Stor I had to take down a couple of shelves so the a repairman could get to the breaker box. After he was done I asked a salesperson to put the shelves back up. She didn't put the brackets all the way into the standards in the wall. She had the shelves up and fully stocked. About 5 minutes later, 2 of the shelves came crashing down onto the bottom shelf. On the shelves - all Gecko mugs. We lost at least 2 dozen seahorse mugs, some Blue Hawaiian Limited Marquesans, some scorpion bowls, some Gek-Kus and more. At least 40+ mugs destroyed.

She was no longer allowed to touch the shelves...
