I have to laugh. As I am sitting here reading the posts, I know it's not sewing, but my little 19 day old foster baby is sitting on my lap watching the screen. I think he can see the pointer moving and just can't quite figure it out. The other resident three kitties tend to want to supervise when I'm sewing. There have been several times when I have started to move the piece and found it VERY heavy. Sometimes I have found them under the folds. I definately would tell someone who was getting a quilt that didn't know me that I had cats. I wouldn't want to be the cause of any allergic reaction. At that point, it would be their decision to accept or decline the quilt. Fortunately, I have not encountered the problem. My guest is also used as the foster kitty nursery so I also let people know if they are staying here. Plans are in works to take DS's room for the kitty nursery since he isn't home much anymore. He can use the guest room when he comes. The last litter really did a number on the mahogany finish. My first kitten was playing with some yarn and somehow got it wrapped around the bottom of a table then around his neck. I found him hanging. He seemed OK but DH said maybe some of his "problems" came from being oxygen deprived. I keep everything like that off the ground now, I don't want to take any chances, especially with the number of little ones I have around. I only know that I would be lost without them. They make me laugh, cry, sleep less, and lose myself in wonder at the things they do. Our furbabies love us and we love them. Could we do anything less?
Until they all have home,
