They are not required, but they certainly make it entertaining!

lol :).

Definitely not....we are pet free and I manage just fine! A good friend to give you feedback is nice, maybe share a cup or glass of cheer for your successes. There are plenty available here for that job.

Some times the cat and/or the dog is the only one that appriciates what you have done. My dog has not complained about any of the quilts I have made.

Absolutely necessary. They give their stamp of approval on everything and they don't care how the project turns out, as long as it's warm and comfy! Three cats and two dogs here. Couldn't imagine our lives without them. They are members of the family!

I just read this post to my bf and as I have been asking for a kitten, (we already have the old dog), he said yes! woo-hoo spca here I come!

YES,,, their love of fabric choices, their ability to listen to the "language while we reverse stitch, all help us to quilt/create better!

Though my 3 dogs know to stop at that doorway and are not allowed in the sewing studio..thhehehehe

Only if your quilts need to be cat-scanned!

A kitty cat is an absolute must. They are especially helpful for quality control.

Looks that way to me!!!
