My screen name makes it quite obvious how I feel about my cats (I have two massively huge dogs and love them equally!) I have read waaaaayyy too many horror stories of cats ingesting pins, needles, thread or knocking over hot irons so as much as I love my babies, the sewing room is "verboten" (as is my LA studio)! However, I do have hand sewing items and thankfully they leave those alone but love to sit on my lap under a quilt if I am hand quilting.
Here is a link for all those furbaby parents who think their beloved pets won't eat these things.
