Suze Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Posted February 15, 2009 Helium hand = Pelican in training!My late cat Max was banished from the sewing room when he pounced my foot as I worked the foot pedal of my sewing machine. Apparently the stop and start, up and down was too much for his little kitty brain to resist. I haven't tried spinning with the new cats around, but Bob is fascinated by dangling thread and needles when I stitch leather. Drop spindling is one thing; if they play with that it's just annoying. But I'm actually concerned that they might stick a paw in the spinning wheel, and that would be BAD. I already have someone "watching me" for those little baby pelican wings.......EPP I'm not ready to even THINK about being a Peer (although if someone asked me to be under them - I would accept - the Baroness that is "watching me" I really like and respect. And I HAVE thought about it. My spinning wheel is an Ashford Kiwi and I have thought about putting a chair or something along the back of it (if and when) I find time to USE it - to keep the vermits out of the back.

Billy P Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Since 9 years ago when I got my Chi-wennie I/we have all been dog people here at home. However we all love just about all animals, can't think of a single kind of animal that doesn't have at least one thing going for it, thus we like/love em all. My wife used to have some kittens/cats, the mama cat had kittens. If I could get some kittens that would stay about 6 to 8 weeks old I would be a dedicated kittens person too. I took a strip of some thin veg/tan leather and some lace and braided fishing line and an old 5 1/2 foot fishing rod and made a toy for the kittens. Well those kittens and I had more fun than a whole bunch of drunk monkeys in a banana plantation. I still laugh when I think of those kittens running, jumping, cutting flips, etc, after that piece of leather. Unfortuneatley(sp) for them and me they grow up. Anyway wishing all a good week and happy pounding on the bovine skin. When my Dr. asked me last week what I did for stress relief, I told him I took one of the little nerve pills he gives me and then go and beat the s**t out of a piece of dead cowhide, and seems to work most times anyway.
