"Zipster" occasionally flossed his teeth with the thread, he used to chase the needle as it went up and down( but i guess he grew tired of getting his paws slapped), but his worst sewing misshap, was when tried to cuddle up with the iron ( he was ok,,,,, and his whiskers have grown back already) He lets me know when he wants " his heat " lamp on, and has the fabric weighted down pat!!! smile
