A Seal Point Ragdoll Claims the Laundry Basket and Everything in It

AI imageragdoll catlaundry basketcozy

A pile of clean laundry has been rearranged into a nest, and the seal point Ragdoll sitting in the middle of it is clearly the one who rearranged it. Towels hang over the wicker edge, a blue shirt is bunched at one side, and more clothes are scattered across the floor beside the washing machine. She looks straight ahead with her sapphire eyes, one ear tilted slightly, wearing the face of a cat who is sure she has just improved the basket.

Cats love snug, enclosed spaces, and a laundry basket is nearly perfect. The sides make her feel protected, the clothes are soft, and fresh laundry holds a bit of warmth and the smell of her family. Hiding and curling up in tight spots is an old instinct that helps cats feel safe, and a cat who has a favorite hideout is usually a comfortable one. Ragdolls are known for being mellow, affectionate cats who often go limp in their owner's arms, which is how they got their name. If you want to protect folded clothes, set out a cozy bed or an open cardboard box in a similar spot, and keep an eye out for loose threads or small items she might chew.

She could have picked any soft spot in the house. She chose the one that took the longest to fold. Now the laundry will have to wait, because nobody has the heart to evict her.
