I know a cat who does the same thing when he’s really happy… We call it a “love bite”, but it still hurts, doesn’t it? I guess cats show their love in a different way

I’ve just taken in an abandoned cat myself (again). He’s also a big cat, big personality, big affection, BIG RELIEF at having food and warmth again, and big love nips! I’ve got a couple of love-nippers in the house, but this guy broke the skin on my hand, too. He very quickly figured out that my yip of surprise wasn’t good, and has slacked off quite a lot with his teeth. I think he was just carried away. While I realize that isn’t the case with your lovely orange tiger visitor – you obviously know where he lives – they can still forget their own strength when they’re excited to see you. I love animals of all kinds and have been active in rescue for over 30 years. It’s a good thing to remember that there’s nothing wrong with a firm “No!” when they surprise you.

You’re really good, Sheri, and I really appreciate it when you put up notes about the animals you encounter. Keep up the good work on all fronts – critters and yarn.

Hi Sheri, we used to have a cat we called Spot the Wonder Kitty because you always wondered how he felt about you. If he howled, hissed and spit at you he was happy with you and would let you pet and love on him. We always said if he putted at us to run because he was planning an attack!. He was a beauty with white fur and circular red spots, sort of like a Turkish Van. He wandered away years ago but he was a beauty.Right now we have five darling babies in addition to our six regulars inside. The babies are sweet as can be. Love cats. But sometimes the devil does posses them.

As someone who is owned by six cats (we just lost our little tortie last month), sometimes cats have a sore spot. You might have just touched him where he was a bit tender. It’s obvious he likes you (or he wouldn’t let you near him). Just don’t take it personal. He’s a handsome dude!

He is a handsome boy. I have a friend who had had that happen twice to her with her own kitties. Sweetest kitties ever…………then the devil steps in.

I love the sweater colorway, I knit it into a scarf/shawlette. I wore it to the Grand Opening and got lots of compliments. It is the greatest yarn, wonderful to knit with and so soft against your skin. Sherry I told you a bit of incorrect info on the pattern name. It was TGV High Speed Knitting on Ravelry. I love this colorway and would buy more if they ever do it again…..But will buy the yarn again regardless.

Even better news..New yarn ordered! Can’t wait. Thanks Sheri. You make even bad days better. N

Good news:
This is the week I learned to knit in 2009, so I am celebrating by setting aside an hour a day for fiber fun for a whole week.

Bad news:
Not sure where the hour is gonna come from. Probably between 10 and 11 PM so I will fall asleep over my work.

Good news:
My rescued poodle looks like a heap of Gray and brown alpaca yarn. When she buries herself in an afghan I crocheted out of Homespun, she is absolutely camouflaged. My son calls her “Yarn Dog”

Bad news:
She loves the taste of wool yarn. She kidnaps one handmade wool sock (yes, the Wollmeise ones) and hides it in her toys. No chewing, but she loves to hold it in her mouth.
