I have 3 cats, and only 1 Marmalade likes to come and visit me when I am sewing. She particularly likes it when I spread a quilt out to sandwich it together. That way she can lay on it, make sure it's comfy, smells good, tastes good, and then wants to be petted too. She also likes it when I am cutting, cause she can stand on the fabric, play with the ruler and one of these days she is going to get her paw cut....
I am reluctant to spray any of my cats, because usually I am working on something they are laying on and I don't want to get it wet!
