Normally we have school in our basement. We have a nice little area downstairs, complete with table and chairs and bookshelves, etc. in which we can have a school-like setting. But in the winter it is FREEZING in our basement, so we usually move our "classroom" up into the living room. Unfortunately this leaves us prone to attacks from the locals, i.e. The Kitties.
Our biggest pest is Dingo, aka Bingy. She likes to roll around on the floor by our schoolwork and try to solicit attention by walking back and forth between us and rubbing her fuzzy belly on us.
