or a cardboard box

y cat lets me know exactly what she is thinking. She has the ost expressive tail ever. No mistaking what is on her mind.

And Roscoe prefers the smell of dirty clothes.

“A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” — Churchill (re the USSR, not cats)

You sure look comfortable Muffin.

Muffin, life is good, yes?!

Most cats are not quite as deep as some people think.

No matter how affectionate they might sometimes appear, house cats are only “slumming it” among us inferior humans. (—

An enigma shedding its way through life.

My spaniel LOVED to get into a basket of laundry right out of the dryer. I couldn’t turn my back on a clean warm load lest Sherwood nestle in. Sure, it’s cute, but then I have to wash the sheets or towels again.

Oh Muffin!! I love this cat – who is really cool.

If either of us had to get up in the night, our (late) Corgi would steal our “warm spot”. We figured she was just keeping it warm for us.

Oh boy……. who doesn’t love CAT HAIR all over their nice clean clothes..!!!!!!!!!!??????

No outfit is complete without the cat hair.

Who’s this lady with a bun? My cat slithers under my blanket for naps!

Winston Churchill famously defined Russia as “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.”

One of our cats waits at the bathroom door while I shower until he can get inside to nest in the pile of dirty clothes.

The quote (minus the reference to a cat) is from Winston Churchill about the Soviet Union in 1939.

Be honest: Who doesn’t love the feel of warm laundry fresh out of the dryer (GC friends with the space to hang your clothes, bless you, are in a category of your own)? Even better than dittos & Xeroxes hot off the presses.

Uhhhh…, was THAT cat’s name “Stalin..?”

Our cat burrows into the warm clothes in the basket and is carried upstairs, where the clothes are put away. They he jumps into the basket to be carried downstairs again. It’s a good workout.

Love it! Go, Muffin! Thanks for the laugh. Great way to start a day.

My cat Spooky liked to ‘help’ with laundry. When I’d come upstairs with a load of clothes he’d jump up on the bed, waiting to be buried under the warm pile.

Actually they are scammers in a fur ball.

What’s so hard to understand about a creature that thinks it’s better than everyone else?

Cats were once treated as Gods and they have NOT forgotten that.

Most of the time cats are thinking about themselves.

I’m with you, kitty.

This might have been more funny, if I didn’t have to look up “enigmatic”.
