Just love your cat. I used to have a female like him. She died at age 15 quite some years ago. My other cats have to test the fabric each step of the way by walking/laying on the fabric but they especially love when the quilt is being quilted in the machine. They just have to test the fluffiness and are no respectors of 'you are holding up the production line' when I can't move the quilt in the machine. Once I had quilt drapped over a table and was hand basting the layers together. When I tried to advance the quilt it wouldn't move. I walked around the table and all three were laying on the quilt asleep. What can I say, they are the best testers. Looking forward to seeing what others are doing.
