Weaver's Cat

Day 10: There is much to be learned on the way to becoming a journeyman Weaver's Cat: that you cannot sharpen your claws on the rollers, that you cannot walk on the cloth trampoline, that threads and heddles are not for chewing/eating, that "shed" and "bed" are not synonymous, that jacks rise and fall, that treadles move in response to the draw of active, biteable stockinged feet. Some behaviours can be exciting, a way to redirect the mama's attention. Others result in loss of privileges and banishment from the Loom Room. Sometimes these strictures require a more studied and calm analysis from a safe remove, and to that end, Merry curled up in an empty box, the better to observe and monitor the weaving process. One factor works in my favour, beyond any temptation into mischief. He does not want to let me out of his sight, and if that means having to abide by odd human rules, that's how it will have to be.
