Murphy le Chaton: Hell on four legs

Pictures of my cat. Last night he slid the length of my kitchen table to grasp the fabric AND the pattern instructions and mess both up as much as possible. 70 year old instructions....conquered. The moral of this tale: Never NEVER use the original. I really should practice what I preach. Fortunately the pieces were spared this fate and I probably don't NEED the instructions to use the pattern, but who wants to see something like this happen to their 1940 pattern? Not me.
