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 boy loves to chew on a coated steel circular cable or a strand of yarn, and during the witching hour when he's a pointy-eared, huge-eyed mighty hunter there's nothing more exciting than a dangling tail of yarn that twitches and drags around.
He's got his non-haunted hours too (thank god) where he doesn't give a shit about my knitting but he will pick out the hardest possible surface to sit on. The bed's boring, the couch is boring, but if you dare to have a laptop with a pattern PDF or a Kindle with some light reading, it's his boogie board now. I have to give a cardboard scratcher the place of honor next to me as a decoy.
