There is a quilt shop near me that is owned by a lady with cats. The cats live there in the shop and they walk and lay around on everything from the counter top to bolts of fabric to a quilt that's loaded and being quilted on their long arm. It doesn't smell pleasant and there is cat hair everywhere....it looks like she has never dusted or vacuumed and this applies even to the notions wall. I am very allergic to cats so I can't stay in that shop for more than 5 minutes. Needless to say I never go there.
