Whew! Seems all us quilters have pets! 9 cats! I thought my hands were full with four! One is old at 16 so we won't have her too much longer, although the vet gave her 3 months to live...3 years ago!!! Anyway, two of the "kittens", now 10, all of one litter, love to sleep in my sewing room, which I provide a basket for that purpose!
My Goldie will chew on the thread coming out of my machine, even though it's covered, so I don't leave thread in it anymore...and yes my door is closed also when I'm not in it!
