I had been keeping my 5 piece butterfly applique pieces together with a paper clip and Elmo, the cat, grabbed #6 of 20. I had heard him playing with something, but didn't realize what his toy was until I was ready for #6! Had to get DH to help me look for it, he was so excited everyone was on the floor playing the same game!-only took 1 hr. :) Yep, I was mad, but when he starts blinking those baby blues at me-he was forgiven. Now I cover everything I working on.

I have learned to keep the wastebaskets away from the table edges. My two "critters" love to clean the table tops and I can't begin to tell you how many tools I have lost--LOL. Apparently batting a seam ripper into a trash can is much more exciting than chasing a ball with a bell in it.

My cats, especially the one in the ID pic, will play with anything that slides across the floor. I find their toys, empty thread spools that I give to them, leaves that manage to get in the house, in the oddest places. Cats just like movement and anything that rolls like a pen is a real hit with them. I cleaned out a hall closet last week and found a spool, a cat toy, and one other item that had managed to slide under the door that he was playing with.

Mine like to take the pins out of blocks I have pinned to the design wall. I can't tell have many times I have had to re-design a quilt. What is it about pins that they like. It isn't just the glass heads because they also like the coursage pins I use on my longarm.
Harriet our 3 year old rescue cat loves to bring me yarn. She goes into the guest room and under the bed where I store my extra yarn and bring me her prize, most of the time crying out as she walks through the house. If I talk to her she stops crying and just looks at me. I am not sure what she wants or needs. I wish I knew what is going on. Since she wears a bell around her neck, maybe this is the only prey she can catch.

Rosey likes to come in and lay on the fabric I am trying to iron. She also chewed a pink marking pencil. When I made a jeans quilt out of DH old jeans, Mike would come in and lay on them. Even though they were washed, he knew they were "dads"!
