A Siamese Cat and a Lop Bunny Dozed in a Basket of Warm Towels

AI imagesiamese catlop bunnylaundry basket

A wide wicker basket of freshly warmed towels has become the coziest bed in the house. A blue point Siamese lies curled on the left with her eyes shut, her gray-blue face resting on her paw and her pointed ears folded back. Pressed against her, Pudding the tan lop-eared bunny has tucked her chin into the towels, her long ears draped over the soft cloth and her eyes closed. Behind them, a houseplant and a woven basket stand in the sun by the wall.

Cats love warm laundry, and it is no wonder. Fresh towels hold heat, smell familiar, and make a soft nest, and a basket adds the enclosed feeling that many cats find reassuring. Siamese cats in particular tend to be affectionate and to bond closely with their companions. Rabbits also like soft bedding but should never be left to chew on towel threads, since loose fibers can cause problems if swallowed. Supervise any rabbit with fabric, and ask your vet which bedding is safe. When a cat and a rabbit share a basket, make sure both have an easy way out.

The pair look as if they have both given in to the warmth at the same moment. Their breathing is slow and steady, and the basket seems to rise and fall with it. It is the picture of a very successful laundry day.
