Cats and Cross Stitch. Bad news
Question:
My siamese cat Willie love to cross stitch too. He steals from my project box a well. He can be sleeping and totally in his own world, but just let me get my cross stitch out. Thimbles, floss bobbins and scissors are apparantly on his to steal list!

Why, indeed, does Flash wait until I have thread lined up with needle-eye to come over and meow, "Feed me!" When my husband and son are watching television in the same room with nothing in their hands and no floor frames (or anything else, for that matter!) in front of them. No one else will do for this task. [BTW, if I'm not stitching, his selection of feeders appears to be random.] Lee

Lee, I worked it out with my dog – they are JEALOUS (no more no less ) of the undivided attention that your stitching gets – this attention is all THEIRS by right so they attempt by fair means or foul to get it back. Rosemary E-Mail to:

I, too am a stitcher with cats! There are 2 who hate each other! One of them has wonderful stitching manners. She comes and sits in my lap and plays with nothing! I can leave a project strewn out and she never bothers it. THEN, there is Oscar! He’s a Maine coon kitten, 5 months old. He plays with everything, and loves to wreak havoc with floss when he can get his paws on it! He wants to decorate the house with it. He is learning to sit next to me while I stitch, but he thinks my tool bag is his toy box! anyone seen a boo-boo stick lately?? It’s got to be somewhere in this house.

My cat, Neko, is always fancying himself a cross stitcher. He must be in the middle of everything, whether it’s helping me organize my floss or crawling in my lap to do some of the stitches. His fur is a part of every project I currently have going. And right now he seems to think I need some help with this posting. (it’s hard to type with a cat on the keyboard!) And you know, I don’t know what I’d do without him. Have a fabulous day everyone!!!! mary

Hokey Smoke, Bullwinkle!!! I’m beginning to think that being a stitcher/tatter means you MUST have at least one cat (I have two) and a male child named Colin (as another poster noted) and a messy house. This is too spooky for words, guys! What’s next: a collective needlework consciousness? Is this how the Borg started? AAAAH!!! I’m heading for my cave (with my Stephanie Cowans

Wow – we never did find out where the first Borg came from! Maybe you’re on to something here! I loved your comment! It put quite a vision in my head: thousands of identical Borg stitching at the same exact (and fast) rate, making a huge quilted tea-cosy thing for that cubic ship of theirs… "We are Stitchers of Usenet. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated into a Round Robin." Sorry, folks, it’s been a long Friday and I’m getting a bit silly… Kim Clare

I have four cats and a dog. My house is ALWAYS untidy (so much so that I pay my 14 yr old job-hunting daughter to do it!) and I am totally addicted to x-stitch. I also have a small boy aged nine, not called Colin tho’. Michael is his name and he is the most likely of my four kids to follow in my footsteps. He has stitched a few items, but his favourite hobby, apart from technic lego, is designing on graph-paper! He even stitched one of the designs! Jennie. —
