Thin wire going crazy

I am pretty new to wire wrapping and I have 3 cats. Iā€™m trying so hard to not have them get into it. I cut my wires on my back porch but my thin gauge wire 26 to 28 just comes right off the spool as soon as I open it. Is there a way to keep the wire on the spool or tricks or hints for those who have animals?

Very simple design with bone beads

Is my style of design something that has any demand? I like to make jewlery but I enjoy making simpler designs and wanted to know if I had a shot at selling

Made my second guitar pendant

Tried to replicate an Angus Young Gibson SG with my wires. Not exact by any means, but I did put the effort in.

Weekly Discussion Post: How do you organize your wire?

Hi r/wirewrapping! Each Friday (that I remember to), I'm going to post a discussion post and pin it to the top of the page. Each post will have a different prompt or question related to wire wrapping, meant to generate discussion and help us bounce ideas and thoughts and stories off each other. I have a list of questions and topics saved up, but if you have any ideas that you'd like to see as the weekly discussion post, message them to me and I will get it added to the list! Ā 

This weeks topic is: How do you organize your wire? Ā 

I keep it pretty simple. Got a folder organizer thing from goodwill for a couple bucks, and keep it all sorted out in there. Anything that comes on a plastic spool gets sorted by wire shape (round, half round, square). Anything that's too big to be spooled gets sorted by wire size. https://imgur.com/a/PFYOfVH
