I'm new to having a cat in the house while sewing and it's interesting, to say the least! We have accepted that anything dangly is a toy and I realize this means my tape measures are fair game if I don't put them away. I can understand his desire to play with my fabric and pattern pieces - after all, I do the same thing! I'm even learning to cope with him walking across my cutting table and sitting down in the middle of my work. But it really disturbs me that he keeps sniffing my hot iron at close range! do other sewing cats do this? Can I trust that he knows enough to not burn his nose?
I'm having to keep an eye on Puddin' whenever I have the iron on and I'm turing the iron off whenever I leave the room, even to go to the bathroom, out of fear that he will burn himself without me there to stop him. It's distracting...........
