My cats ignore me all day --- until I sit down in the recliner to sew. The sound of my scissors must sound like "here kitty kitty kitty" and they both come running and want to sit in my lap! Then they want to bite and swat at the thread when I thread the needle. I have to stop sewing and pet them until they are in a purring coma and then they will snuggle on the sofa and go back to sleep! This routine happens every night and I enjoy the game as much as they do!
