This is adorable, and I always think kitties do know how to manage sharp points, but mine keeps trying to eat thread.

That can be very dangerous to their insides, if it gets caught at one end and the gut pulls the other and it cuts through a curve of intestines.

So keep a watchful eye as she works on her Claudia Catoure

At least she contributes. I asked my cat if she's going to get a job after a 3 day vet stay. She has not commented.

My cats throw temper tantrums and then get sulky every time I change into my work uniform.

I keep telling them that when they start contributing to this household I won't have to work so much, but no luck so far. I keep reminding them that they can't get mad about me going to work when I'm the only one of us 3 paying for rent, food, and cat toys.

I wish I could train them to at least clean or do laundry or something while I'm gone.

A few years ago, I showed one of our cats how to clean the water bowl, step by step. He was on the counter, watching, so I assumed he wanted to know.

Hasn't done it once.

Ohh. Bernina is my second favourite sewing machine brand! At least Claudia has a reliable tool.

Haha, thats also what I was thinking. Though I’d say they are tied for number 1 with Pfaff for me. What’s your favorite?

Singer over here. Mine was my Grandma's and probably is at least 30 years old.

Oliva, a Portuguese brand. I use vintage machines, my current one is electric but still with a beautiful sturdy metal case. Tomorrow is the day to put it back into use in its new craft workshop :D

God Damn it, Donut! Stop sewing patches on Carls vest!
