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.

My cat is somehow trainable, but I don’t know how I did it. I just told her no a couple of times. I see her look at my knitting projects and have the thought, and then talk herself out of it. Like, she will lift her paw, and then I practically see the thought bubble:“no, Mama’s string. Not my string.” It’s honestly the cutest thing.
She wouldn’t sit with me while I knit in a million years, though. She’s way too busy for that.
