[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 580082, member: 136"]Oh, my. I have [B]TWO[/B] of these...: a rather small one, from when I was a kid, and one that's a fair bit larger, about 3" in diameter. I use them all the time. My Russian Blue cat, Stoli, absolutely LOVES them. If I leave my sewing for even a few minutes, he steals them & hides them.

Just yesterday, when I finished a sewing project and put away my sewing machine, scissors & accoutrements, before going out, I didn't realize that my "tomato" wasn't with the other sewing stuff. I was actually miles away, on the highway, when I realized that I hadn't picked it up & put it away. I called my husband from the road & asked him to look for it. He looked, but he didn't find it.
