Cats are come when they like and go when they like, take some love and kisses and talk and they could care less about the rest of what is happening around you. On the other hand, Dogs LIKE you, WANT you, NEED, you, LOOK at you, all the things that at time will take you away from quilting and other things that you may love to do. So you have to love them just a touch more than cats. Even though cats are loved with all our hearts (I have a very black one) they are a different breed.
But those of you that have long hair cats, I don't know how you do it. I had one and hair was every where, no matter how much the cat was groomed. More power to ya.
I am sorry to say I lean more the dog way. Have two wonderful little fellow that lay at my fee and look up so forlornly think(when the heck is she going to finish so we can have her attention).
As I told my grandson as long as it didn't have more than 4 legs and didn't squiggle across the floor I would love it.
He seems to like those.....:)
