We had a precious kitty for 13 years and he loved my quilts and my computer. We walk into our computer room (hubby and I each have a computer) and find Tigger either sleeping on the keyboard or standing up studying something in the monitor that wasn't even turned on. Don't know if he was tryign to figure out what our fascination was with this computer or what. He loved sitting on my quilt while I was working on it too. When I was hand quilting (no hoop or frame) I didn't mind him sitting there but when I was piecing and his nose was right there by the needle it always concerned me he might try to catch that needle and get his paw hurt but he must be smarter that I as he never ever tried to do that. No matter where I laid my quilt, he would be on it. We had one of my quilts on the bed for 10 years and he always napped on it, so much so that the foot of the bed got dirty too fast so I made him his own kitty quilt and he loved it. I also had a little hassock that I used to put my feet on when quilting and he sat on it a lot, especially after I made a pretty quilted cover for it. I have no clue what there is about quilts, but they he sure loved to be with my quilts no matter where I put one. He never once hurt it so it sure wasn't a big deal. He was an indoor cat only so he wasn't a dirty kitty as such. I'd say let him be on it unless he is one who sheds a lot. Due to my allergies plus his fur balls, we did brush him a lot so he really didn't shed a lot. We never found his fur around the house anyway. Years ago they had this little hand held battery operated pet vac and the minute one of us would turn it on, he'd be run to hop in our lap purring all the way. He loved to be brushed with it. I couldn't use a regular brush due to my allergies but this one I could as it was a little vacuum that had a container to hold the fur we brushed off of him. Enjoy you kitty while you have one. We haven't had one for 17 years due to my severe allergies but I'd love to have another one day.
