Roger doing what
he does best! |
The Life of a Weaving Studio Cat
Meet Roger, he lives in my weaving studio. Roger was a feral cat who was in one too many fights which left him with a funny ear and is now FIV positive. Being FIV positive means he carries a virus that only affects other cats. It can be fatal when not taken care of in a proper manner.

Roger was living at a vet clinic and was in the adoption program. But, no one wanted to adopt him because of his health. My daughter worked at this clinic and she felt he needed a chance. She started sending me photos and telling me sweet stories about him. Finally one day she called saying that no one was even interested in him and his existent might be in danger. I felt sorry for her and for the cat. As I was looking at his photo, I asked my daughter, “well, what is his name?” ROGER she replied. Well, that was two years ago and I can’t imagine working in my studio without my little buddy.

Making sure that cardboard does not get away! |
Roger must know that in order to live in happy harmony in my studio he must not sleep on my warps or chew up my yarns. He has his own chair, toys and treats.
He always greets me at the door. He lLoves my color and yarn choices. But best of all he when I ask him how he likes what I am doing he always meows the same positive thing. I think he knows I rescued him and he pays me back every day with his love, devotion, and purrs
Do you have a studio pet?
