I'm a young kitty rescued by my "mommy" which I love very, very much (as you can see in the pic attached)
We do lots of things together like cuddling, purring, playing, sleeping, eating!
Lately she is insisting in teaching me how to crochet! By the way....she does crochet a lot!
Well, I'm a bit worried now as this age-old hobby, relevant even today as you can see, makes a comeback
with pre-teens, teens, grandmas and everyone in between (where my mommy will fit).
Why am I worried? Because I love to knit and I think knitting is what we should do together. Plus, as you may know crochet is using a single curved hook (my claws fit the description perfectly)
but, in knitting we use knitting needles (not harmful).
I don't think she realizes that if I start crocheting....I'll shred everything to pieces.
George, how can I make her change her hobby and switch to knitting?
Knitting comes so naturally to us, the cats!
By the way, why do you think we are knitting and love it so much?
Maybe if you'll explain ...she'll change her hobby

Dear Sophie,
Do your claws get stuck in the crocheting? I guess they might do. Sounds a bit tricky for a cat. If you show her how they get stuck, perhaps she will change her habits. Knitting would be safer - and there are those nice balls of wool to play with too.
If you do start knitting, would you knit me a nice human to play with? I'd like one small enough to bat about and perhaps with some catnip inside. It must be female, of course, and it would be lovely if it looked like Celia - mature (!), wearing trousers not a skirt, and with knobbly knees! Pink face and yellow hair on the head.
AND.... I know this is controversial but I would like you to add a tail. I feel pity for them as they are disabled without a tail. So I would be grateful if you could add a tail to my toy Celia. Yours in grateful anticipation,
George.
PS. Have you seen this book?
Congratulations George! This is the best advice in a looooooong time! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sophie ....please knit me 6 little Celia (don't forget to add the tail) so I can bat her around :-)
Hugs
Fluffy
Sophie, hope your mommy comes to her senses soon!
ReplyDeleteShe must be very young if she doesn't know what she is missing by not knitting with you :-)

Hm! "Crafting with cat hair" must be an interesting book but how about "crafting with your human's hair"?
ReplyDeleteEven if they shave and wax....I think we still can pull out enough from their scalp to make toys.
Interesting idea! Definitely a must try! I'll start with my dog.....and have a "dog toy" to bat around!

George, lately I found very difficult to post my comments as the verification that I'm not a robot changed from typing words to images. My problem is that all images are related to food and each time I want to post my comments I have to match steaks, soups, pizzas and I feel instantly hungry! Can you please change back to typing words? If you read this comment...know that it is made in a haste...as I'm gone ...eating!

That is a cute book. I got it from the library a while ago, but I am too lazy to make anything.
ReplyDeleteGood timing Sophie to show your love to your Mommy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to all mothers!
