As some of you may know, I have a small arts and crafts business, producing sugar art and crocheted soft sculpture.
I also have two cats, Rotley and Ruggles, who "help" me with all facets of my little company. Right now I am in the middle of creating Victorian sugar eggs for Easter craft shows(they are NOT for consumption -- decorative only), and working on them with two curious cats is a bit of a challenge.
So far, I've retrieved dried baby's breath from Ruggles, who got a strand caught in his teeth, and I tried unsuccessfully to keep Rotley from eating it -- he horked it up in the middle of the kitchen floor.
Those two are the Quality Assurance Officers for my products.
There was also an incident when I surprised Ruggles. He was on the dining room table, which is forbidden territory when I am working on the sugar eggs. Ruggie got scared when he saw me staring at him, and tucked his big furry head in a large Easter egg. He was convinced that since he couldn't see me, he had morphed into "The Invisible Cat."
Rotley rolled around on the floor when that happened, paws waving in the air and purring loudly. (This was his version of raucous laughter!)
Does this happen to anyone else?
