Hope your burn is getting better. My two cats are thwarted needleworkers. They sit on the machine, the ironing board, the mending (large pile), work in progress, ironing, lap, shoulder and take the pins out of pin cushions and tools and pencils etc out of containers. They rigorously quality control completed items and check out beds and chairs for comfort levels on a daily basis. Indeed, wherever there is a space, it will be filled by one or both of them. I have learned to live with it and to date have not burned or steamed a cat or myself. I have however, burned and steamed myself when ironing. Should I give up ironing?
