Hello to One & All! Sorry to hear about your pillow. that's happened to me a few times...to the point of me contemplating making myself a pair of cat fur slippers. They seem to know when the bobbins are not pinned down. I have 5 cats that I've trained to leave my pillows alone. A good rap on the head with a "NO" works for me. They know what no means. "Getting" the bobbins are not an interest anymore. With that being said 1 of my cats, Leonardo de Vinci, has taken an interest in "making" lace. He sits next to the pillow watching. He doesn't "get" the bobbins. He'll pick up the bobbin with 1 claw by the thread or spangle and move it to another location with the other bobbins. Then he'll pull a pin out with his mouth & lay it on the pillow. Then he looks at me as if to say, "well there's the pin, put it where it should go. I don't have opposible thunbs." Be careful what you name your animals, they may be like their namesake. Leonardo - likes to figvre stuff out. Patches - likes to sit by the sewing machine when I'm making quilts or on them. Rather than being on a blanket. Erik the Red - likes to explore & start fights. Mini P - Like her Mom Patches in many ways. Herald - A feline public address system, very talkative not a sicmese . Casanova - a lover kitty especialy human women Ghendis Khan - fights with his brother Casanova & will take whatever spot Casanova is in.
