Knitting with a kitten
The kitten in my household is 6 weeks old now, and quite full of
himself. I've just spent an unproductive 30 minutes disengaging the damned thing from my knitting and removing its 18 little claws from my leg. PLEASE let the next four months go by quickly so I can get it neutered and declawed (and no flaming, my cats NEVER go outside). |

Apart from the odd pat, with a very unruly ball of yarn, my puss is totally disinterested with my yarn- you know your kit might grow out of it. Mine is more interested in fetching dismembered mice as pressies so that the dogs can retrieve it and run off with it- yuk! Regards Sarah |

Michelle,
Is he the one you resuced from the show? He must be cut and he will grow out of it. Just give him his own toys. Hugs, Nora |

You read about my incidents with my spinning and my household kittens?
They're just 6-months old now. I don't think for me that declawing would do any good and the one chewed her way into the bag of roving. But, I certainly commiserate with you. JJMolvik |

JJMolvik I too have a cat that cannot resist yarn and anything in a plastic bag. Things are only safe if they are transferred to a cloth bag or container - for some reason the plastic acts like catnip to her. |

My cats do far more damage with their teeth; I just trim their claws when
we're expecting company. A well-placed scratching post takes care of the damage they would normally do with their claws. The sisal rope kind is our cats' favorite. Nope, everything that Neko has destroyed, he's done with his teeth. Chewed the electric blanket cord. Chewed the antenna of the cordless phone. Chewed the yarn. Chewed the wooden clothespins. Chewed the cord to the battery charger. Another cat we had long ago, was declawed, but still managed to destroy my sewing basket just "sharpening his toes." After that we decided not to waste the money declawing any more cats. "JJMolvik" wrote in message ... You read about my incidents with my spinning and my household kittens?

My cat, now 6 years old, thinks that my knitting is a game of 'catch the
needle'! It does make the process a lot more interesting!! Being a nuisance is not just for kittens...! Liz M "disy" wrote in message t... "JJMolvik" wrote in message ...

I read somewhere (I can't remember where exactly) that fish bones were involved with making some plastics, which explained why my kitties constantly try to chew on any plastic in the house (shopping bags and laundry baskets primarily).

I had a cat like that. She loved chewing on plastic bags. Had to shoo her away from the grocery bags many times while I was trying to put my grocery shopping away. |
