Before we bought the house and I was able to have a table for cutting (folding, too small, but better than nothing), I used to have to train each and every new kitten that came into my life that scraps are fine to play with but that large piece of fabric that I am kneeling over is Right Out.
Did I tell you this story already? Doesn't matter, Calcifer made me think of it and now I am sharing it.
3 yard length of fabric laid out while I smoothed and evened it. Trinity was very good and walked right around the edges. Like, the fur from her paws touched the selvages but she herself wasn't touching them. Pace pace pace, around around around, being good not touching so good...
And then she could no longer help herself, it was too irresistible, she grabbed a corner of the length in her mouth, and took off down the hall with 3 yards of linen behind her.
Except the weight of the fabric, plus the carpet/fabric adhesion, was too much for that little cat to pull behind her; she got whipped around 180 degrees with the fabric still in her teeth. I was laughing too hard to yell at her, and she never bothered fabric again.
