My two cats, Tribble and Skeezix, love to be in the sewing room. They stay off the ironing board but are frequently up by the sewing machine and cutting area. One of them almost always gets on my chair as soon as I get up and go to the ironing board or cutting mat, and then acts all huffy when I want my chair back. And Skeezix loved to take all my pins out of my pin cushion. She has finally stopped that bad habit.
