I wish I could have a cat. I miss ours. I am owned by a moluccan cockatoo who is constantly in my face & responsible for most of the ripping out on my quilts. LOL! They just have way too much love to keep to themselves! :-) He loves the strips I give him for preening, but it's only a short distraction for him. Then he's back to watch over everything in case I cut paper or pieces he can have. :-)
