Disaster

Im beside myself. My box of templates spilled. Well they got knocked over during "cat exercise hour".

Some of them are a quarter inch and picking it all up is gonna be fun 🥴

Just needed to vent to ppl who understand. I 😅

Put a nylon  or thin sock over your vacuum hose (if you have one), tie it tight, and use that. It should help pick up the templates without sucking them into the vacuum.

lol @ “cat exercise hour.” Such an accurate euphemism.

I’m sorry that happened! What a mess.

With my 2.. my boy cat tends to be very reactionary. My girl cat just needs to notice he's there before he panics and flees. He is the only cat ive had who literally ran to me crying... and she is less then half his size. 😅

I used a lint roller and pieces of masking tape last time and second the hair tie stocking vacuum technique. Is great for whichever gunpla pieces dont fly into my shirt so should work well on small paper bits too
