:thumbup: Instead of fighting the cats and their detritus, take the path of least resistance. When you're not sewing cover all the work areas they love to lie around on by draping pretty "covering-dedicated" fabric. That way you just remove it each time when you are ready to sew. No presewing messy cleanup and you can periodically wash all the covers together.

I'm forced to wipe down my surfaces and lint roll my ironing boards and I'm simply too lazy to put things away. How do you keep your kitties off work surfaces and ironing boards and where ever else they may lay?
