I know I'm not the only one that has a furball so interested in sewing machines (and fabrics and patterns and ...!) Questions are; why are they so dang interested in sewing stuff...and what do you do to keep their interest from wreaking havoc on your sewing stuff? If mine would sew clothes for me, I wouldn't mind so much about him getting into everything!

I heart Woo (HimmyCat). Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

I think your furball is looking for presents. Maybe a sewed toy.

Maybe he just wants to get in and curl up or maybe he's jealous you give the fw's more attention.

My furkids have me SO well trained....I leave nothing valuable on the floor, don't cut on the floor, wrap all threads up, and mid-project virtually every surface off the floor is covered with too much stuff for a cat to actually land on it!

Yes, it's very clear who runs this household, and as long as I toe the line we all live nicely in harmony.

All cats like boxes to climb into, and all of them like sewing.
It seems to be universal.
Really, for toys, they should not have faux mice, they should have little sewing machine gadgets for them to hunt.

It's a conspiracy, I tell you! Note that other than the mobil hairball crawling into the sm case, there's not another one to be seen in that picture! Even with all that feline fluffiness, we see NO stray clumps of detached fuzz! How does LynnRowe do it? Spend her days with a vacuum in one hand and a McCollough steamer in the other?? I am dumbfounded by her sheer lack of filth! What is the world coming to???

Hey Lynn, will you come to my house and clean it up for me?

Grins,
Beth
