Determined to make this hobby work

[ Edited ]

are you a puzzler? Last year I decided to try jigsaw puzzles. Had never been involved in this hobby. Looked like fun. Bought a nice puzzle board from Amazon. My NAUGHTY kitties made it impossible- jumping onto the board, stealing pieces, ( random chewed pieces are still showing up in odd places haha), climbing and clawing the felt board the minute I turned my back. 

I see on Amazon a rolling puzzle table. It has drawers to hold the pieces(magnetic closures), a lucite cover that might prevent my cats from getting to the puzzle. What do you think?

Haha kitties and puzzles don't work. 

 

I would work on the puzzle and watch kitty so he wouldn't bat pieces off, when I was

done, I'd cover it carefully with a sheet, so kitty couldn't go on the card table

and bat pieces all over the house.

The kitties might still get in the puzzle with just a cover in it and I found over time those little wooden drawers fall apart. They are really cheaply made. I use one like below and the kitties don't bother it. You cover it up and you can even put it away and not disturb the puzzle.
