Question: Do you allow your cat to play with scissors?

Of course not.
Just look at what can happen:

However, in her role as Chief Studio Assistant, Buttonwillow insists that she should be Scissors Certified.
I still say "NO".
Firmly.
Often.
I still say "NO".
Firmly.
Often.
Which means, of course, that her obsessive fascination with scissors grows with each passing day that they remain forbidden. Which means that a furry girl has to be a little crafty to get her paws on a pair.
"I'm not touching them. Look, my paw is a full hair's width away from that blade."
"I'll just relax here and groom myself a bit. You go ahead with your work. Don't mind me."
"Ahhhhh. I think a little stretch might feel good right about now. "
"That feels so good, I'm going to stretch out my other paw a little bit..."

"What's this? Those crazy scissors jumped right into my paws!! How do these things constantly happen to me?!"

"As long as the darned things are already in my paws, I may as well try to figure out how they work. And then I'll show everyone just how truly helpful I could be."

What do you think Buttonwillow would say next?

Holy crap! Those things are sharp!
"Shoot.... if only I had thumbs!" :)
I still have my beautiful photo I won from you proudly displayed on my craft room wall. I think of you whenever I look at it.
Hoping you are having a terrific summer Susan Faye!

Why didn't anyone tell me these things bite?!
"These are left pawed! I cant use them! :["
"The scissors started it! I was just defending myself!"
Jennifer
"But mom, Tim Gunn said to 'make it work!'"
Oh if I only had thumbs I could take over the world with these scissors! >^..^<
I love it! You are all making me giggle! Keep 'em coming!
"Hmmm...why are these called pinking shears when they're blue?"
Jeanne
(I think you have my email; I ordered a couple of portraits)
Hand over the 'nip and no body gets hurt.
In my quest for scissor world domination it struck me..."Shoot, I don't have thumbs, OR fingers..let me try the other end again please."
"If I can get these into the fishbowl..Harpoon time!!'
I think he says:
"I think I'll let the human use the scissors and I'll take a nap! Well done!"
"In my next life, I want to be human. Then I can properly use this thing!"
Oh, by the way, if I happen to be the lucky winner, I would love Wendy from The Year Of The Cats to get the prize. She has two darling cats, and is such a wonderful woman herself. She would definitely deserve a treat! :)
I currently don't have a cat (sigh), so I love to read about other people's cats' adventures. Hah!

How does Edward Scissorhands do it?
Thank you Esmeralda for this cute caption: "Look at this nice round balloon! _I_ cut that out!"
Wait just a...do these have anything to do with Frankie next door becoming Francesca?!?
(Sorry..a sad bit of neutering humour.)
I wonder if these things will open canned cat food.

"Scissors! Maybe I can help Mom with that beautiful quilt she's been working on..."
LOL or "that beautiful quilt she's been spending all her time on..."
Sometimes cats do like to be helpful!
I swear I did't touch them! They walked right over to me!
Darn you, arch nemesis! One day, you will be mine!
I'm feeling sassy today—I believe I shall run with scissors!
