The Doctor Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Here's Caleb helping Janelle sew my new frock coat... Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Fox Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 I think they all do that Jack! Mine likes chasing the thread as I sew button holes... (and that's a fine looking ship's cat!)

Skavenger Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 what a cutie..... my two love chasing the thread around the place YOU CAN'T BE OLD AND WISE IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN YOUNG AND CRAZY...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 how very helpful. My cats make perfect pattern weights. Because you know, patterns just get up and walk away without their help.

Duchess Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 I envy those of you whose friends simply sit upon the work in question. My friend feels it his moral obligation to chew on and carry away anything I am not immediately holding on to!
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 I envy those of you whose friends simply sit upon the work in question. My friend feels it his moral obligation to chew on and carry away anything I am not immediately holding on to! That would be why I can't leave my serger threaded. Certain "family members" tend to eat the thread & pull it all over the house. I won't mention the kitten who is determined to burn himself on the iron one of these days.

Red Cat Jenny Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Simply weigh down? My dog likes to weigh down anything I'm doing if he can reach it...he's an incredible bed hog as well! Oh and for a dog he has a helthy appetite for string, styrofom and tinsel....luckily he's adorable.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
kass Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 My two hounds are so lazy, they think every piece of fabric stretched out on the floor is for them to lie upon. This becomes fairly dangerous when that "piece of fabric" is actually the train of your skirts and you go to take a step! Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
Ransom Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Only one helper? Try sewing - or doing anything for that matter, like reading the paper, laying out patterns, doing artwork - when you have FIVE of the little nosey critters. Try just sitting on the couch to read a book or magazine, with five hairy bodies piled all over you. Reba Domino Phantom Sabine Celeste Oh, and did I mention the greyhound, Zorro?

The Doctor Posted December 4, 2006 Author Posted December 4, 2006 Here's all three of Janelle's elves. Caleb Selena And Jack Jr. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

Rumba Rue Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 You know it's said pets resemble their owners Jack. Caleb and Selena look like Janelle, curious but a huggy kind. But Jack Jr. definately looks just like you! My youngest cat, Luna (actually Lunatic) is into EVERYTHING I'm not holding onto. The rest just lay on whatever if they can. Six cats...oi vey! Hmmm, guess I'll have to get the camera out and take some pictures. But in the meantime, here's a picture of the three youngest looking at a bug outside. Taken back in October. Kiki, Luna, and Jasper Here's one of Gilligan, my Senegal parrot that talks like a pirate! He's really rather a small bird, though the picture makes him look huge.
Fox Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Ship's cat Pootle is bugging me to ask whether Caleb has a girlfriend...

kass Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 She's not a cat! She's a panther... :) Building an Empire... one prickety stitch at a time!
The Doctor Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 Caleb hasn't been overly interested in the lady folk ever since the veterinarian "broke" him. And, Rumba! What a terrible thing to say about Jack Jr! The therapy alone will cost a fortune. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Black Syren Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 No cats as Nora is allergic to them...but Everytime I sew or crochet My cockatiel "Buddy" Assists me by holding the thread in his foot. I am trying to teach him to sew but so far he has not picked up on it as of yet...*sighs* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â
Capt. Sterling Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Mine insists on climbing up the silk waistcoats, of course by way of the front... never the wool or linen, only the silk... sigh a cat with expensive taste....

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 So glad someone started this thread. I have been wondering what to do with this photo. This is why I cannot get anything done... Left to right: Phoebe, Willow, and Jackson. Zoe (also jet black) was probably in the basement at the time, as she has no patience for the kittens. And another, just of Willow: I would like to get a photo of several of my navigational instruments to post on the Archangel site... Hmm... let's see... ah, yes -- perfect -- NO! WAIT! My wife is in tears that she cannot have a nice, peaceful, ornament-covered undisturbed Christmas tree. Wait -- is this one of my kittens, or did someone let a squirrel into the house?

michaelsbagley Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Wow... Two out of my three liked to climb the tree and try and sleep on/in it... But I don't think even the little one got as high up the tree as yours seems to have! My favourite is watching my girl trying to tablet weave... I stress trying, as all three of the rascals seem to be able to put their differences apart for the sake or tormenting dozen of loose threads... And being yelled at by the lady for their efforts.
Duchess Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 for many years my family purchased our christmas trees extra tall and nailed them to ceiling for just this reason.
michaelsbagley Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 for many years my family purchased our christmas trees extra tall and nailed them to ceiling for just this reason. I know this isn't what you meant... But I just got this comical mental picture of an upside down X-mas tree hanging from the ceiling...

Red Cat Jenny Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Lovely cats Capt Straw! Willow is just beautiful! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help....
