Coco Found a Bobbin

 

I had friends over for food and games (which turned out to be one looooong game of Munchkin) last night which was excellent fun for all!

 

In anticipation of their arrival, I set about cleaning. This meant unveiling the mortal enemy of cats everywhere: The Vacuum. All went as well as one might expect (cats fleeing in terror), until I got to my sewing table.

 

Coco had discovered a bobbin.

 

For those not in the know, simply, a bobbin is:

a) A small, round roll thread is reeled onto – provides the under-stitch for sewing machines

b) A cat toy that takes the thrill of chasing string and encases it in a cat-sized, bat-around-able ball.  

 

Utilizing this medium, Coco created an intricate webbing design by winding the bobbin through the legs of the sewing machine, the cat tree and end table entitled: You’re Gonna Need the Scissors, Mom.

 

I cut free my furniture. Found bobbin under TV. Checked the mess of wires that is my lamps/sewing machine/TV/modem/cable box and reclaimed another bobbin and 2 rolls of thread I didn’t know I’d lost, as they had come in a plastic grab bag from Goodwill (which Coco had chewed through and liberated two months ago).

Coco and Ampersand got along. Once.
