Yup it's a cat holding a birdhouse. Only the nest is my ball of yarn and it sits on the top shelf. My granddaughter made it in school and gave it to me. She knows I like cats.

 I knit at the computer desk and listen to the tv or radio. The yarn is above and doesn't get into things. I pulls easily out of the little hole. The only problem is the cat is rather heavy and I don't move it around.  I have another yarn project upstairs by my chair that I work on when  I am watching tv at night. I get two for one that way.
