I also have 2 cats and I use my bed to lay out blocks so I have to shoo them out occasionally. When I iron a top they try to lay on whatever hangs on the floor. They also like to lounge on my large cutting surface because it faces the window and they can look at the birds. The only bad part is when I am trying to cut and a tail swishes back and forth. I tell them one of these days they will become bob-tailed but they want me to know they want some undivided attention and they aren't going away anytime soon. If I close them outside my sewing room they stick their paws underneath the door and try to open it. There's no winning for me so I just learn to live with it. I do have quilts across the back of my couches that they love to sit on. I pick up enough cat hair on a daily basis to create a new kitten!
