Knit one, kitten fun...

The arrival or two extra cats to the household earlier this year, and my return to knitting in recent weeks has meant that my knitting efforts have been under severe attack on three counts. Firstly, Coco is fascinated by the knitting needles flashing, and will try to chew on them as I am knitting. Then the little ones think that the balls of wool have been created especially for them. I have been forced to have my knitting bag closely zipped up, even when I am knitting, because otherwise the ball of wool in current use will be picked up and taken, in a lightning strike attack, to the other end of the house, with the knitting needles trailing behind.

I made the mistake of leaving the bag unattended one night, and I could hear some scuffling noises, and a ball of wool was discovered on the floor the next morning in a knotty mess.

 

Their antics certainly make us smile, on another night when I was just settling down to sleep, I heard an unusual noise at the door, leaned over and switched the light on, and Millie was half way up the door, climbing on a coat which was hanging on the back of the door. In our pantry room, she loves to climb to the top of the door, to sit on the top of the door, surveying the mayhem below.

 

We have a magenta coloured cat "house" which is a promotional item from one of the big pet food manufacturers, which is normally sitting on the landing upstairs. Recently, the house has migrated downstairs, two or three times. We haven't seen it moving, so we have no idea how it has got down the stairs, except that it just appeared.

 

The weather has got much colder in recent weeks, and if one of us is not home, this leads to three cats on one pair of knees. Good for keeping the knees warm, but just a little cramped.

 

I read somewhere that it is better for cats to have company, they get into less trouble that way...
