wool mat

Now I just use the mat and maybe a bit of spritz of water if needed but still keep the cloth (pillow case as someone suggested on another thread) on top of the mat. They do a nice job on pressing pieced units and such.

It is the same for the Alpaca mats... My cats love to knead it with their claws and actually chew on it. I am so glad I kept the giant plastic zip lock bag it came in! I use the mat, let it cool, then put it in the bag and in a room not accessible to the cats. I never thought that alpacas were a cat's natural prey.....

Yes! My cat, Baby, loves it! But she mostly just wants to sleep on it. Mookie has never even noticed it. My sister just told me
that if a person could figure cats out they would be a multi-millionaire haha!

One of my cats thinks wool mats are for scratching. Its a large mat, so I keep it in one of those travel bags for cutting mats. She also thinks that quilt blocks on the floor were put there for her to play with. Quite the quilting enthusiast!
