I wish I did that!<br /><br />Hi NJ,<br />The colors do look enticing, don't they? And yes I keep my pastels far from the eyes of the kitties as they would be very dangerous for them to mouth or bat around then clean themselves. Only my mature Kinzo the Magnificent is allowed in the studio.<br /><br />Hi Jala, I think its the graduated values, organized colors that makes their appeal. Let me know how the screen works for you.loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-8829583321951710702011-03-24T08:58:30.879-04:002011-03-24T08:58:30.879-04:00Hi PB!!!

I think more like "determined" ...and I know they need to be clean. Therefore finding ways that are efficient helps. I must admit that when I do things like wait for a ferry I will take out the entire box, row by row, wipe each one with a tissue and clean out the foam. No use wasting time...heehee and with a view!<br />I am so excited to be "out and about"!loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-46533529540933487152011-03-24T04:53:11.229-04:002011-03-24T04:53:11.229-04:00What is it about pastels that they look so edible?...What is it about pastels that they look so edible?<br /><br />The screen is a great idea.

I bet that the screen also keeps your feline friends from "pawing" around but not for long.
