There's something about a closed door and a cat, they just can't STAND it. When I open the door to the sewing room, my cat is the first one in it. I can't tell you how many times I've shut him in there because I didn't know he was in there. Now we account for his whereabouts before we go to sleep at night.
Here's how my Buddy helps!
And here's how Floppy helps (my Avatar). She has a doggy bed in the sewing room but I guess it's not comfortable enough.

Buddy, and YES, that is a project ON the machine that I was working on and stepped away from for a few minutes
