Funny how quilting and cats just seem to go together. I have two: 13 year old Noah, and 9 year old Grace. Noah likes to watch me while I sew and quilt. One day I was in another room and heard my sewing machine going, then stopping, then going again. I knew I was the only person in the house and quickly went to investigate. Noah had discovered that stepping on my foot pedal produced a noise. He was stepping on it, then backing off and giving it a strange look, then repeating. He did the same thing once with my computer keyboard. Just a "curious" kitty, I guess. Miss Grace is not allowed in my sewing room unless I am in there because she has been known to ingest almost an entire spool of thread before.
