[Jewelry making - Article 01282] - Re: [Orchid] Cats in Studios - does it work?

    I have three cats, all have access, in varying degrees, to my
    studio.  I keep chemicals covered, all liquids covered.  One will
    steal anything - cabs, findings, finished pieces, wire, etc.  If I am
    leaving the door open so she can come in I have to be sure everything
    is covered with a cloth if I'm not there, so she can't grab it.  The
    other two completely ignore everything. 

    One is my "up" cat - she will get up on anything. Which includes my
    bench and my work table, the window sills, etc. So I have to be sure
    I don't leave anything out that she might hurt herself on. 

    If I'm working on something that I can't keep covered to my
    satisfaction, then I keep the studio door closed so they can't come
    in. 

    If I only had my male to deal with, I would not need to cover
    anything, ever - he is completely uninterested!  The two females are
    the problems. 

    So it will depend a lot on the temperment of your lady. 

    Plus, you will be dealing with a certain amount of cat hair, no
    matter what you do. 

Good luck!
