How do our furry friends always claim our projects?

I laid out my first crochet throw to check my progress. Went into the kitchen to make an espresso shot. Walked back into the family room and there was Xena! Sound asleep on her new blanket!

I suspect that she thinks it is perfect as is! I want to finish the outer ring and then there will be enough throw for me and Xena. That’s assuming that she will choose to share it with me.
