My QI's Nuala and Halo (young kitties) both love to inspect and test the comfort levels of the latest quilts, even if I am still sewing them at the time. Nuala loves to play with the thread as it feeds through the machine! Luckily there has been no harm as yet, though all I can suggest is repeatedly pushing them away until they take the hint. A good tip is to have another quilt nearby for tem to snuggle on undisturbed. As far as the iron goes, both have been curious and I always keep an eye on them, but they seem to realise that it's hot and leave it alone. I find the cable more of a worry in case they pull the iron down onto themselves.
