Laundry?? Cat Bed!!

 "Mom was doing laundry this weekend."

 "This is hard work for her so, of course, we had to help her!"

 "I made sure that there were black hairs

everywhere they would show."

 "I put the light hairs everywhere else."

"Now if mom would just stop taking the clothes out of the baskets!!"

PS mom is going to the vet today to get a shot in her back for the pain from her three bulging disks.  They are doing the left side first.

Me-om! What are you doing to my bed?!

Everyone who lives with cats knows how much they lurv laundry baskets, regardless of whether the clothes are clean or dirty.  Now this poses a problem either way.  If the clothes are dirty, it makes it difficult to pull out the clothes to put them in the washer.  If the clothes are clean ("mmmmmmm, Me-om!  How can we resist nice warm clothes??"), then you can't get them put up.  Depending on how long your feline companions have been in the laundry, you may have to wash the clothes all over again.  This happens a lot with my daughter.

While all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde love clean laundry as well as empty baskets, the two who love laundry baskets the most are Mister Kitten and Zaphoid Beeblebrox.  In fact, if there are any baskets where they can get to them beware!!  Mister Kitten and Zaphy will be there!!  We have to work fast to get our clothes put up.  Unfortunately we're often not able to do that.  Our solution is to throw a piece of laundry that will cover the rest of the laundry.  That way we'll only have one piece of laundry to rewash rather than the entire load.

"Hey mom!  I adore this new cat bed you got for me!"

Now because I've had soooo many feline companions over the years who enjoyed sleeping in clothes baskets it's no surprise that I ended up going a bit nuts... ummm I mean, drawing a ton... ahhhhh I mean having fun making a lot of items for the CafePress store.

There are the bumper stickers...

and then the one where you can get t-shirts, Sigg bottles, mouse pads, yada yada yada...

Shhhhhh, we're sleeeeepin!

Well, at least I am... and my daughter has had control of the computer all day doing schoolwork.  My husband just got back with new food for the Big Bowl™ which will make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde extremely happy.  We were down to the emergency emergency food.  Scaaaaaaaary!!  The 15 pound Kitten was especially worried.

But now we can all rest easy.  I believe the dryer is done which means that Zaphoid and Kitten (we think he's decided that he doesn't like Oberon) can fight over who get to sleep in it should it not be put up in a timely manner!!

We and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde wish any and everyone traveling and/or celebrating Thanksgiving a safe and happy holiday!!  The human caretakers will be forced to eat two (count 'em two) Thanksgiving meals tomorrow.  Ah the sorrow of it all!  ::hand to forehead::
