It’s time for . . . BAD INVENTIONS! Today’s terrible invention and bad idea is a vertical loom, the kind that you would stand or sit in front of to weave a big tapestry, combined with a beautiful, complex, cat tree for your cats to play on.
Penelope would not have had to stay up late un-weaving her work on Laertes’ shroud if she simply had plenty of cats and an inviting structure for lounging placed on top of the loom. She could sleep peacefully, knowing her cats and kittens were on the job.
