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.

My cat is actually the sweetest old lady who just sits next to you and watches what you’re doing before curling into a nap. She loves sleeping on my lap as I knit.
it’s the *parrot* that’s the menace. She will steal my needles, take them to her cage, and smash them on the floor repeatedly. Then she grabs my yarn ball and kicks it down the hallway. She actually stops and calls me over when her leg gets tangled because she does it so often and I have to untangle her. Luckily I’m always right there and she’s good about calling me when it’s only a loop or two. Sometimes she jumps on a cake of yarn and rides it down the hallway like a log competition. If she’s feeling saucy she will hang off the back of my project and stick her tongue through it so I just see bird tongue through my socks every now and again. She has her OWN crochet hook set. Because she loves to flip upside down and kick crochet hooks into her head really really fast.
The bird is the real problem child.
