    In the next couple of weeks, after a long hard year, we'll be moving
    into our new home and separate studio. We are owned by several cats,
    one an older female who is constantly harassed by one of the
    neutered males. I'm seriously considering having Rosie become my
    "shop cat".  This would involve providing her own special bedding,
    litter box, feeding area etc. I suspect she'd really appreciate a
    break from Jake the Brat. 

    After a lifetime with many feline friends, I know how they get into
    stuff and I realize I'll need to be more careful about securing
    breakables, chemicals, etc. Don't want to poison my old lady nor do
    I want her playing hockey with my latest project.  Any hints,
    suggestions, personal experiences from other cat-loving Orchidians
    who have had studio cats? Is this just a really bad idea?
