Yesterday Mrs. Ochiai came over to work on her Great Aussie Quilt.
Mrs. Ochiai does not like cats. She and Choco are very friendly but she freezes when a cat walks by. For some strange reason, the cats want to check out Mrs. Ochiai. I have other friends and students who LOVE cats and they BEG the cats to come sit on their laps but nary a look their way. So why, when Mrs. Ochiai would like my cats to take a long nap in another room, do they all come running, rub her ankles, climb up on her chair and sit nearby watching her like a hawk?! When Mrs. Ochiai comes over I feel like I have 10 cats, not just 5. They follow her from room to room and jump up to be near her. She can't bear to touch them so I am constantly grabbing cats and dropping them back to the floor.
We escaped to Vel's room which was better because then Mrs. Ochiai had only to contend with Vel but even normally wary Vel had to come and sit on Mrs. Ochiai's project. I got a great picture of the fear on Mrs. Ochiai's face when Vel came and sat in front of her but she didn't want that posted on my blog... Look at how her hands are frozen to her side as Vel comes over for a visit!
Well, Mrs. Ochiai got three of her Aussie quilt blocks fastened and I spent the time shooing cats away and working on the embroidery for the Round Robin. A very productive day!
