Cats and wool.

Here is Next.  He has decided that the studio is his.  He stays in the barn loft at night, on his heated blanket, in his box insulated by about a ton of selvedge.  He is fed well on the porch every day, and drinks from his heated water bowl.  He also defends his territory.
Do you blame him?

He rolls over on his back whenever we go outside, and purrs immediately.   Yes, we have been adopted.

He really is a good boy.

You know that yesterday was a bad day, right?
Sometimes, I just can't get myself together to blog.
Today was better.

I am planning a warp for my mew 8 harness Macomber.
A wool blanket in waffle weave.

Working on getting the colors together.  I may add a couple more.  Any suggestions???

While finishing my fabric yardage on the 4 harness Macomber, I had company.

When Smokey was living upstairs, with my friend, for 5 months, my Kizzy was stressed out.
Apparently.
At first we didn't know what was up,  but we noticed that his belly was getting bare.

It seems that he was 'overgrooming', something that I never heard of.  But he eventually licked his whole belly, and down the inside of his back legs........totally BARE.

When Smokey left, I got him a pheromone collar, supposed to relax him, and help him to chill out.
Then we started putting some lotion on him, that would help him heal, and didn't taste so good.
And we opened this room up, so he could see that the house was HIS again.  All his.

Slowly, but surely, his hair is growing back........

Silly boy.

Handsone boy.

I love all four of my cats, but Kizzy is probably the sweetest and most lovable.  He was the first one at the studio,  he knows he is the prince.  
He and Next have it covered.

We're surrounded by tigers.
