I have 7 at home, and I always have 2 in my sewing room. One likes to lay on the acrylic extension table of my sewing machine, and I have to place blockers on there., books, magazines, button tin, whatever is handy so that h e cannot lay on it., the other one likes to lay at the very corner of the sewing table (It's 6.5 feet long) and when the machine starts moving the fabric, he thinks it's time to play by grabbing it. they are a job to be around, but I am extra careful to make sure they don't get into any real trouble. Love my cats.
