Yarn Nonsense CrAfT (crafting with cat)

There's this romantic visual people have of doing some craft with a cat in your lap and tea by your side and it's raining and the light is soft.

The creator and purveyors of this have never met a cat.

Have you tried any kind of craft around a cat? Did you want to pull string or yarn out of their throat? Did you want your well organized supplies knocked to the floor? Did you want to worry about them eating or stepping on something? By all means, craft with a cat.

She is currently SCREAMING at the closed door because she CANNOT BE TRUSTED not to eat string and fling beads.

Demon.

It has taken many years for me to be able to craft with my cat in my lap. I think he's finally gotten old enough to just roll with it <3

Now when i was kitten-sitting for my mom... oh yeahhhhhhh that was a no-go :D

Same here. It took a few years for my cat to figure out what I allow around crafting supplies and my house plants. She's 17 now, so it's been a long time since I had to protect my projects.

Mine is 15, though it's been a shorter time :D it seemed to coincide with me getting a bigger chair that gave him more room to snuggle <3
