I was always happy to work with my cats about and just keep my lace as clean
as possible. One of them is shown on my website in his favourite position
laying along the arm of my chair and sometimes just holding the ends of my
spangles down on the pillow. He never harmed anything and just a tough on
his paw was enough to make him move it slightly further away if I felt it
was necessary. He was a lovely friend and occasionally made sure I put the
lace aside so we could both have some cuddle time. He is much missed but
wont be replaced but I enjoyed my lacemaking then and I still do now and
have managed to achieve both, having my lace hobby and the animals while
they lived as well.
Mind you I have never managed to achieve any of the incredible laced I have
seen from both Clay and Carol.

If someone asked me to choose between my lace and my four-legged companions,
I'd have a monumental crisis!
So far, I have chosen to make lace for my own pleasure and the expansion of
my knowledge of lacemaking. So if a stray hair shows up that cannot be
removed, I have a reminder of a dear pet who may no longer be with me.
Currently, I have a cat who loves high places, and there is no place in my
lace room that appeals to him. However, my small dog insists that I pull up
another chair so he can sit/lie beside me while I work.
My life would be very diminished without them!

Dear Spiders,
I am SOOOO glad I don't have a cat .... or any other pets that might shed
hairs onto my lace! I once had a warm, cosy and fluffy angora
cardigan, which I wore a lot, until I realised it left hairs on lace and
crochet, so it went very abruptly into the charity shop! The thought of
having either hairs left in the lace or, even worse, having to remove
hairs with tweezers fills me with horror. I do have guinea pigs - but
they don't go anywhere near the lace.
