Machine creates warm fuzzy feelings My cat just cannot resist sleeping on Nina/Pfyodor

Date: 12/18/12 10:50 AM I am not sure why - maybe it's the heat from the machine, or the lamp or maybe he just likes the vibration, or maybe he just gets JEALOUS of all the attention the machines get - but my cat, Goku cannot resist climbing up and joining the sewing. I have tried shooing him off, but he jumps back up. I have tried locking him out but a horrible noise akin to a dying animal arises from the other side of the door. I have found a compromise that works for a little while. I wait, until he is fast asleep, then I move him to a basket lined with scraps. He wakes up but is generally too sleepy to do more than chirp at me before continuing his cat nap. Once the nap is over - there he is again! Maybe I am the only one with a feline friend who loves sewing as much as Goku - or at least loves something about the sewing room. I try to tell myself that he just wants to hang out with me but the evidence belies this as he regularly goes in there when I am not around. What to do? ------ I think every machine company has something great to offer. Vintage or cutting edge - everyone has its place!

Date: 12/18/12 11:53 AM My beloved Birman male would sit right next to the sewing machine that I'd be using at the time. He wouldn't play w/ the threat or anything... just lean against the machine. Didn't matter which machine either. Hubby thinks he thought the machine was purring. I like the basket thing, we had a box for him if he got in the way... but usually he was leaning against the back, not the front. Your cat looks sweet.

Date: 12/18/12 11:55 AM This is the reason I have covers on my machines, and of course cat beds right beside them when I am not sewing. HAHAHHaaa...ALL THAT HELP. ------ "Be kind whenever possible.

Date: 12/18/12 2:16 PM I know why.. he wants to keep the stitch count down so he can get a good trade in allowance on it when he trades it in for that PINK Brother machine.. you know the one..

I love black kitties! Desdemona likes to lay down behind my machine and look at me through the harp, whether I'm sewing or just hanging around in the living room. I think it must seem like a cat-sized fortress to her. She doesn't bother with thread on the sewing machine, but if I leave the serger uncovered . . . ------ Olivia, my Pfurple Pfaff Creative Performance Bernina Aurora 430 BabyLock Enlighten
