Yup. Cat lover here! I have 3 cats. Grey Kitty, Orangey Kitty and Sophie kitty. They all love to help with quilting. The only time I don't let them help is if I'm making a baby quilt. Then I have to put them outside if I want to get anything done.
I also have a chocolate lab and 3 horses. They would probably help if I let them. I took my hand sewing outside once to sew in the sun and the horses were just walking around and Guin kept trying to take it out of my hand. Pretty annoying. She also kept trying to eat my ponytail and lick my ear. Couldn't get anything done. Crazy animals.
