Haha his name is Monster because he's a piece of work. (aka Monzilla, Monstro, Monstrofur) His fur is sooo soft, like a bunny, but he's the most opinionated cat I've ever lived with. Has a complaint about everything, is super nosy, and will let you know if something isn't to his liking. So much personality in a tiny cat, but he's so freaking cute he gets away with it. I was cutting the old string out of the tahitian strand in the middle of the night and apparently the scissor sounds disturbed his sleep, so he sat on them.
The idiot who strung the tahitians glued each knot in the entire strand.

they used so much glue two of the pearls have string permanently embedded and won't come out even with hot soapy water. I gave up at some point and started stringing the GSS instead, using Pattye's "sun" thread. it's a perfect match. I think the lighting makes them look deeper golden in color, but it's a sunny color in natural lighting. Like a saturated lemon? It has lots of personality and amazingly comfortable to wear. This color thread made it look a lot more expensive, I was shocked at the difference.
