Text Box: Laughing Cat Designs Patterns and Workshops in Thread Painted and Embellished Fiber Art Text Box: The Laughing Cat: Newman Text Box: Newman has found his way into my fabric shelves... Text Box: Newman has stolen the new puppy’s bed. You can just see the snicker! Text Box: Newman helping me put together samples, he is holding down the piles of fabric, tulle, organza and as you can see he is quite pleased with himself. And yes, that is a Juki behind him… you can see just how BIG this kitty is! Text Box: Another view of Newman helping, guarding his pile of fluffy fabs. Text Box: Newman came to me at two years of age. He was found as a stray kitten by a friend of the family under her deck. Eventually he came to live here, attached himself like glue to me, and became my Studio Cat. He loves spending time in the studio with me, and in fact has been known to BEG me to come down to our Lair. He is a very large kitty, around 20lbs, and I am pretty sure he is at least part Maine Coon.
