Does your cat help you with the laundry?

My cat Jackie does. She makes a bed in the basket on top of the clean clothes.

I hate doing laundry, and I cannot possibly disturb her as she looks so comfy.

It is prolonging the inevitable, but I'll take it.

Sometimes it is a battle to get the laundry folded before they both climb on the pile!

When my niece was born, my parents didn't have a crib or bassinet at their house and there were no bouncy seats back then (1988).

If she would nap at their house it was in a laundry basket with blankets if her parents forgot the playpen. I have a picture of her in it somewhere.

I couldn't leave clothes in a laundry basket after I took them out of the dryer, or she'd get in the basket, sniff the clothes, then leave her "mark" on them. That was her idea of "help"--make me wash 'em twice!
