I have two cats, who both help me with my sewing. Here is Mips.

She is oldest and head cat in the family. You can´t see that she has Siamese in her, but you sure can hear it. If I lock her out of the sewing-room she yells until I let her in. Well inside, there is a number of helpful thing a cat can do. Here is a short list:

- Put your nose against the funny moving part on the sewing-machine and then get affronted when it hurts.

- Chase any threatening spools of thread in under furniture so it is almost impossble to retrieve it.

- Sit on fabric that your human is about to cut out pattern pieces from.

- Fall asleep on any piece of fabric that has lots of pins in, or is needed next.

- Climb up to the top shelves and return all dusty, thereby showing your human that she REALLY needs to dust.

- Insist on cuddling everytime your human needs to concentrate on her work.
