Cats are a heck of lot different than dogs but I suppose everyone knows that. Speck is so old and he’s so small, he’s never really been a lot of trouble but . . Boots . . oh, my! That cat must read my mind to figure out the most annoying places he can position himself.
Over the weekend, I was trying to get some fabric pieces cut.
Boots
So, there he was . . on top of my pattern that I needed.
Then I was going to iron/fuse the pieces.
Boots
Oh yes . . there he was . . right on top of the pieces I needed to press.
After a while, I realized . . he’s missing. I had left the door open to the fabric closet. He loves to go in there and get behind the fabric and sleep after he’s had enough of me in his space.
When I go in the closet, I know to be aware because no matter how much I’m anticipating it, he jumps out from somewhere and scares me. But not this time, he was still snoozing when I walked in.
Boots
He was tired. It must take a lot of energy to be such a pest when mom is trying to sew.
Boots
He’s so sweet . . when he’s sleeping! I wanted to pick him up and snuggle with him but I left him sleeping. I had work to do and I figured he would wake up all energetic again and yep, when he finally emerged from the closet, he was ready to play! About the time I think he’s getting old enough to calm down, he turns back into a kitten and I have to watch his every move!

That is the cutest cat. I can only imagine just how “helpful” he is. Have you ever seen the cat on the “Wendy Knits” blog. Wendy has a new picture of Loki with every post.

He does get in your face, doesn’t he? He wants to be where you are looking; in other words, on top of what you are doing. I hope he stays away from sewing and quilting machines, though!
Dianne says
He is so cute! Love seeing what he is into and I know he is company to you in the sewing room.

I’m interested in what’s behind Mr. Boots in that first photo – looks like you are running a notions store there, Judy ! Why should I be surprised… if there’s a disaster, one must have extra rotary blades!!!! LOL
JudyL says
That’s just a piece of pegboard with all my notions on it. I think what you’re mostly seeing are rolls of labeling tape.
Julianne says
Ha Ha! That is just like two of my calicos, Koi & Dahlia…they are never far away from me when I am in the sewing room!
Ann says
You should try dealing with 2 kitties while attempting to sew! But wherever I am, that’s where they want to be, getting as much of my attention as possible or watching as I perform tasks.

I am so happy that you and Vince have become a kitty lover too as well as dogs. I knew if you would just give them a chance, they would change your mind. Boots sure did the trick. I miss having one that is so cute and playful as he is. Our little lady is more like Speck — older and sleeps more than anything else. Oh she likes to eat, but doesn’t play any more. They are still company in the sewing room, regardless.

He was such a cute little guy & he certainly grew up to be a beautiful cat! Oh my he has such an innocent look in all the pics! Thanks for sharing ~ I’ve been wondering about Boots & Speck!!
Shari says
He’s looking at you like “what’s the problem”? My cats are the same way. They like to walk between me and the sewing machine while I’m sewing – and stop to be petted. But, they are always entertaining.
Dana Pellerin says
he is so pretty and mecheivious (SP?) just like all sewing cats. My cat is a chewer of all things especially cords. I have had to replace my sewing machine cord and 2 ironing cords so be thankful Boots hasn’t started that yet.LOL it really isn’t funny but you love the little devils so much you just grin and bear it.I now have my cords covered with a plastic cover from Lowes and she doesn’t like it so she will leave it alone.
Dianne says
He looks so sweet and innocent when he’s sleeping. That’s so you don’t throttle him when he’s awake!

Boots is so beautiful!
