Cool. I would, however, contend that with such an arrangement you
could, if your nutritional status depended upon it, arrange a dozen
jars of peanut butter under the table, around the center of the spool,
to be covered by the table cloth (although I would also contend that
hiding one's bulk purchases, though perhaps desirable, is not
essential.) This might put the kitties' noses out of joint for a
while, but if you threw in a can of cat food on top of each jar of
peanut butter, I suspect they would become resigned to the arrangement
eventually.
