It has been a long time since I lived with a cat. Decades in fact. I am not counting temporary cat sitting, especially of one that spent all its time living in the linen closet. This time it is different.
My morning started out with a cat (the cat belongs to by youngest who is helping the Eldest and as a result just isn’t going to be home for the next couple of weeks) announcing very distinctly on my side of the bed that it was breakfast time. Further, I was totally falling down on my job since it was LATE!
Breakfast, coffee, cat box all taken care of, I sat down to stitch and had first my lap taken over, then my chair with eight + kilos worth of cat. Makes it really hard to do anything. I finally took a break and cleared off a section of the table which he deigned to use for a while.
But it didn’t last.
As a result, I didn’t get anywhere near as much accomplished today as planned. I have no idea what his opinion tomorrow is going to be of either the sewing machine or the steam iron.
Progress worth showing:
.
all seven side squares are done, complete with backstitching. I am about 35% done on the Menorah – my goal for tomorrow,
and just down the street –
we are still obviously seeing more than a bit of moisture.
I know…cats are time wasters, take over the place and tell you what to do. Cats consider you to be servants. That said your feline house guest does look rather lovely…and large.
