I even have a pic of one of my cats sitting on top my sewing machine!!!

I have this same problem! My cat Spooks doesn't seem to be interested but Sid is another story. I figure it is because he HAS to be the center of attention all the time. What better way to do that then to lay down in the middle of what I'm doing!

I also have a teeny tiny female orange tabby. Did you know that female orange tabbys are very rare. Orange tabbys are almost always male. In fact my vet didn't believe me when I told her my cat was female!! :) :) I have had orange tabbys all my life, and they have always been male and big, but all the (few) female orange tabbys I have seen/heard of have been teeny tiny. Pretty interesting.

How cool! I have a little bitty female orange tabby too. Her chest, feet, and tummy are white, and her face has a few white places, but otherwise, she's "punkin orange". 8-) Her name is Pixie, but most often we call her Baby Girl because she's so petite. She's the most affectionate little thing ever! She and our other 3 cats are all rescues.

Here she is at 4 months old ... on one of my inherited quilts ... naturally! :lol:

And my other 3, Tikki (the tabby on the box), Wee-est (Siamese mix "trapped" inside the box by Tikki), and Buddy (long-haired seal point Siamese/Ragdoll mix). :lol:

Aw she's so pretty. Yeah i rescued mine too and they told me when I got her that she was 6 months old, but no one had seen her be born, so they were guessing just by her size. She has never gotten bigger though (she is about 7 pounds too), so I think she is actually much older. Which makes me sad because I don't know how long we will have with her. :( :(

Maxx the siamese and dreamer the oriental (my avatar) are on my legs

IF I get some handwork out, they will try and sit on my arms...so I mostly machine piece so I can keep them off my fabric

My little black cat is called Trouble. She's 12 years old. I can't leave my straight pins out. She steals them. I used to pin finished blocks to the ironing board. Her favorite place to sleep. She will pull the pins out of "her bed". I would find the blocks and pins in the floor. I no longer pin my blocks to the ironing board. She sleeps in an extra chair next to me when I sew, On her own quilt. She can't jump onto the ironing board any more. She has cancer, and we know her time is short. We love on her and keep her as comfortable as possable. Lots of head scratches and treats.

I personally think that cats love fabrics as much as us quilters do...not to mention that they like to be where we are. A real compliment to be sure! I think that it makes a gift special to include a little cat lovin' in every quilt---all are prewashed before delivery, and no one but me and NeNe need to know....(and now ya'll too!) SHHHH....LOL

The cats in this house belong to my DD. When I sit at the machine, one is at my feet, one is to the left, and usually one on the table. Go figure. Step away from the machine and one of them will jump on my nice warm chair and one on the ironing board if I leave it up. Two is ok, but four or five get on my nerves when sewing. Geesh!
