I've been where you are before. think we would learn! lol! I bought one of those really nice kitty condo's and set it right next to my cutting table so my fur baby would "learn" that is where he belonged! It's almost exactly level with my table and looks out an entire wall of windows! Right...... I could have saved my money. He wants to be where ever I lay a piece of fabric, no matter how small. So now he has his own piece of fabric to lay on and the kitty condo is heading to its new owner! My how they rule our world!
