Oh, Beth, I do sympathize. One of my previous cats learned that if he jumped up on the chair, put his head under the edge of the pillow and reared up, he could flip the lace pillow over and off the stand--doing it deliberately, mind you--and then get to watch his human scream, turn purple, waive fists, and try hard not to kill cat. He used up several of his nine lives until I figured out where I could put the pillow so it was safe. He's the only one who did that, thank heavens. Nancy Connecticut, USA
________________________________ Gentle Spiders, Subject line pretty much says it all. I was not uttering nice polite words to my kitties yesterday evening when I came home to find my lace pillow upside down on the floor. I'd been working on a Beds piece, and fortunately many of my bobbins (midlands) were pinned together and then pinned down, only the workers of the current motif were loose. Still the shock of seeing my pillow upside down on the floor was a bit much. Since the pillow table was standing, I knew my large dog wasn't to blame. Things were righted, but I couldn't face straightening the bobbins just yet. I did see that there were no broken threads this time. The cats were allowed to live. I tried to explain to the cats that Papa Noel wouldn't leave tuna in their stockings if they continued to mess with my lace pillow, but they heard none of it! For safety, and my sanity, I moved the pillow on it's stand away from my chair until I'm ready to work on the lace project again (tonight perhaps).
