On The Cutting Edge with Buttonwillow (and a Caption Contest!)

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.

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?
