I love the picture! My cat is not quite that much of a micromanager, but she does like to remind me that I do need to take frequent breaks from sewing/quilting/knitting so I can pet her instead....

I have a small rat terrier, Minnie, the one in my avatar. (oops, the one that WAS in my avatar until Marsye made me replace it) Anyway, just let me sit down at my computer & she has to jump up & lay in my lap. Makes things a little awkward but I manage.

That is too cute! When my cat (Miss Mocha) was alive she would sit like that on my computer moniter. If she was around today she wouldn't be able to do it as I have a thin, new moniter. Also, when I sewed she would walk in front of me between the machine and I would get her tail across my face!

Oh my, I love that pic. Why do they do that? Mine won't leave me alone when I sew.

That is the cutest picture. Lucky for me my cat doesn't bother me when I'm quilting. Just lies right outside the door. But, when I'm on the computer or trying to read she will insert herself right on my lap and bump my hand until I pet her.

LOVE the picture! My cats try to be right in the middle of everything also, especially one who is rather standoffish until I start to sew. Then she's right there wanting all my attention. Thanks for a great laugh today.

LOVE the picture! How does he do the balancing act? That's so funny!

Here's some pics of my cat, Bailey, "helping" me sew, too. His favorite place to lay these days is ON my sewing table. He used to just come running when he heard the sewing machine start up. But now, he just lays on my sewing table ALL THE TIME - - just in case I might want to sew.

"Nap time! Hope you didn't want to sew today. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

"Can I watch you put that fabric thru the machine? Hey - you're tickling my nose!"

I absolutely love this picture. My cat have never tried to lay on top of the machine, but she sure likes to lay behind it, around it and all over anything I am working on. The other one does the thing with the tail and the ruler. I alway promise to cut it off if she really wants but then she moves it. Thanks for sharing this. Had to have Hubby come look too.

Too, funny!

I have 3, they drive me crazy! Especially when they bite at the thread when I am sewing...and always know when I want to use the cutting table.

They are all gorgeous! I love a furry helper/director! lol

I have 3 cats also and the oldest is an 11 yr old Manx-mix. He is naturally bob-tailed so it looks as if I have already used the rotary cutter on his tail. The 8 yr old is a female tabby and the 6 yr old is a male tabby. All of them are fabric inspectors and/or project managers. My quilts aren't complete until the cat hair has been properly applied!

Been there, done that and still doing it.

bertadel 07-10-2010 09:18 PM

Moo Moo is very cute and funny. My kitty Flipper was always involved in what I was doing. Cats are so sweet, you just cant shoo them away.

MsDaniels 07-11-2010 12:55 AM

Too funny! My cat likes to "help" me too but she hasn't gotten on top of my machine yet!

Maksi 07-11-2010 01:24 AM

Thank you for starting this topic, this is too funny.

tmg 07-11-2010 01:32 AM

He loves you

Sportzmom 07-11-2010 05:24 AM

Oh my gosh!!! I am in hysterics, my husband had to come see what I was laughing at. I thought I had cat problems, but yours are worse. My daughter's cat has a sixth sense about fabric being on the floor. No matter how quiet or sneaky I think I am, he can sense the second I put anything down and he appears out of nowhere to lie on whatever I put down, and he only does it with fabric. I really needed a good laugh today. Thanks for sharing.

My Kokoa loves to sit on my lap and watch the needle work. Then lays on the foot pedal until I picjk her up and give hugs and kisses.

This is me and my helper, Trouble, tonight. This is just one of the ways she likes to help. I need to get this one done to take to Knoxville with me on Wednesday. I'll probably have to finish it there. So, Momma's cat will "help" me finish it

OMG! And I thought my cats bugged me when I sew!

Annz 07-13-2010 09:39 AM

He is so cute. Are you sure he is in your territory or are you in his. He looks territorial.

zz-pd 07-14-2010 08:32 AM

That is to funny, but I think I would put him out of the room when sewing, I would be afraid to sew his tail. God bless. Penny
