I hate to say it to all the cat lovers......but cats shed massive cat hairs. They get all over my quilts when I sew at my quilting friends house with 2 cats!!! It's very unappealing to have tons of cat hairs on my quilt. Sorry.
My friend is an immaculate house keeper.

Loved the cat photos and stories about everyone's cats. My story is not so good: my cat had to have surgery because she swallowed thread, so please be careful. She didn't learn her lesson either. If she's near fabric she tries to get threads off the edges. So she's a very expensive alley cat!

Yes, there's fur on my quilts, but I'm not competing anywhere...and if I gave one away, I'd be sure to wash it.

When I house sit for my daughter I take my machine and set it up on her kitchen table. Her BIG cat sits behind it and watches me sew. When he decides I should stop (to play with him), he crawls thru the harp to stare at me. He can only get part of his big body thru it - but it works! I must stop and give him my full attention!

My yellow and white Persian ate enough string to stop her up. The vet that took it out kept it in a jar as a souvenir. Cost $250.00 back in 2002. My cats today don't eat it.
If I place a towel on the floor and carefully lay it out, I will get an immediate inspector. So I decided where I wanted them to lay in the sewing room, and bought a cat bed at Dollar General. I made a big deal out of placing it just so where I wanted her to sleep. It works:

I have four cats and no door on the sewing room. They love to lay on the fabric. So far, I have been lucky that no one wants to sit on me while I am sewing.
Love all the pictures.

I have a basket with a quilt in it for Mr. Peach in my sewing room. There is also a twin bed where he can nap. He is not a lap cat so it works well. He loves to be in there with me. In fact, he loves it so much he tries to “herd” me in there. There is no measure for how we love our sweet cats and dogs.
