Annya, hooray for adopting a new kitten. Years of love and fun ahead. If she tries to get to the needle while you sew, just gently blow in her face. She'll back up and nothing will be wet. BE VERY CAREFUL (says the voice of experience) with pins and needles. I now keep mine covered always. Cost $2,000.00 to have a needle extracted from our kitten. Thank God I had the money.
