Hi, Ronni! Welcome to the group!
I have a neighbour with two dogs that like to do what your two do. Trouble is, Auntie Mo Next Door's two are Collie/German Shepherd crosses! Barney like to live on the windowsill so he can see out, but Harry is too fat to get up there! If you sit on the sofa, you get a dog in your lap!
Welcome aboard, Ronni. Glad you made it over.

My cat likes to lay on the softest material he can find, but doesn't like the plastic bags from the store, so I keep the material in the bags. So now he looks for what I've cut out, and lays on that, pattern and pins included. Plays h*ll with the tissue paper. Then there's the dogs - our German Shepherd wants under the machine - last time, she sat on the pedal, and nearly sewed my finger into the night shirt I was working on. My Rottie is satisfied with leaning on me or my leg. Unfortunately my chair is on wheels, so every now and then the bottom half of me takes an unexpected ride. Sharon
Hi, Ronni! Welcome to our band of merry stitchers!
You'll love it here; there's always lots going on.

Welcome to our great group! Emily
I have one big fluffy grey and white cat (Sugarfoot) who lives on top of my monitor when it is on. He is also fond of the milk jug rings and likes to bring them to my bed to play with, usually at 3:00 am. The other big wheat-colored fluffy cat (Orion) thinks that any work chair (sewing or computer) is a place to wedge his rather large self when I am sitting in them. He is circling as I type...Both think that ALL fabric (folded, uncut, cut, pinned, unpinned, being fed through the needle-you get the idea) only exists for their bedding. As for removing cats, it don't happen! I just work around the little beasties.
Rather unfair, though. Luckily, I am now back in my sewing room so my problem is solved - just as well since this evening I found our eldest, Worthing, had thrown up on the pattern tissue for the DH's Hawaiian shirt... I really did need to get stuff off the dining table.

You obviously have never been owned by a siamese cat.

Hooooo boy - they'll wait a month to get even with you. At least ours would. Rule #1 - never p*ss off a Siamese cat.

Or moggies like mine: I'm on cats no 3&4, and NONE of them has gone into a cat carrier ever - except on their terms, or with a struggle! Cornflake can be enticed or fooled, but his sister needs to be in a cooperative mood...
Have you heard of a washing machine?
LOL - if I gave my cats a tranc every time I sewed, they'd be addicts. But we have barred them from most of the house. They're not allowed in the bathroom, sewing room, photo library or office, and only two are allowed in the bedroom. The rest (another five) make do with the rest of the house, as these areas are all open-plan and impossible to shut off.
We did once have a computer blow up due to our late-lamented Lefty sleeping on top of the monitor - hence the ban from the office (the dog is allowed, because he stays on the floor). I definitely wouldn't want a cat around a computerised sewing machine.

Now that's just unspeakable. The cat carrier suggestion was bad enough.
Just got this from a friend.
Cat Heaven A cat died and went to heaven. God met her at the Pearly Gates and said, "You have been a good cat all of these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking." The cat thought a minute and then said, "All my life I lived on a farm and slept on hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on." God said, "Say no more." Instantly, the cat had a huge fluffy pillow. A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to heaven together. God met the mice at the gates of heaven with the same offer that he made to the cat. The mice said, "Well, we have had to run all of our lives: from cats, dogs and even people with brooms. If we could just have some little roller-skates, we would never have to run again." God answered, "It is done." All the mice had beautiful little roller-skates. About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, "Is everything ok? How have you been doing? Are you happy?" The cat replied, "Oh, it is WONDERFUL. I have never been so happy in my life! My pillow is fluffy, and those little Meals-on-Wheels you have been sending over are delicious."

I agree with David........the spin cycle really throws their equilibrium off!
But I hear the dryer's fluff cycle does wonders.
