A troublefluff in action

Tee hee!

When Dervish, our big orange Main Coone, was a kitten, he made a game of dashing *in* to the fridge every time it was opened, situating himself on the lower shelf and staring back at you with bright eyes. Now as he does the same thing with 20+ pound self, only with the linen closet. The Gods help us if we aren't on the alert when we open the linen closet door - you'd never think a cat that size can move so fast!

Cheers!

What a cutie!

And a troublemaker.

And now, for the fiber wonk's 2c - I bet that hair would spin up beautifully...

I’m saving up Yeti’s fur for that purpose; he has a very frizzy undercoat that will probably spin better than Cleo’s long, straight hairs. I hear most cat hair doesn’t spin well because it lacks the little hooks that make wool scratchy.

I have a book - _Knitting with Dog Hair_ that says cat fur can be used. I'll have to check when I get home, but I believe that it suggests spinning Cat Hair in with wool roving, because cat hair is generally too short to properly spin.

Doesn't say a thing about "hooks" though. IIRC, that is.


/me has three bags of white dog fur at home, just waiting for me to learn to spin on a drop spindle.

Pretty kitty! :)

We don't have an icemaker, but one of our furballs has figured out how to open the kitchen cabinets. We never know when we're going to come home and find stuff scattered all over the floor.

Cats!

Has he actually figured out how to get the ice to come down? Or is he still just exploring?

[mithriltabby]

She knows the ice comes from there, but she hasn’t figured out that it involves pressing a paw against one of the little levers. Fortunately, those levers are at the extreme edge of kitty reach...

Now I feel silly. I thought that was Yeti, but it appears that it is actually Cleo...

I need to get reaquainted with your kitties.
