beautiful cat! and others' cats too! my black manx cat will sit over to the side as straight and aloof as possible and watch every move i make. if i'm piecing he will wedge himself behind me on the chair and push with his legs until he has enough room and i'm on the edge. he's at least 17 yrs old, so he gets away with it! his younger brother usually claims the chair first and gets disgusted and leaves if i won't share. so far he has shown no interest in learning to sew. with their sharp claws you'd think they could at least help pin!
