Mostly my cats just want to keep me company. But I do keep everything picked up, closed or put away!
Waverly (the yellow and white one) isn't with us anymore
liked to be near me when I was sewing but not usually on what I was sewing or quilting. This is once when he decided he needed to provide ballast.
M'Gennis, my current companion, just likes to be on whatever I'm working on... mostly just in the way! I was cutting out pj pants for Christmas gifts, working with yards of flannel at a time, and yep... he needed to be in the middle of the pattern pieces I was trying to lay out.
