Towels are my favorite laundry item. They’re hard to ruin. They’re easy to fold. And there’s something inherently satisfying when you pile them in a neat stack. Unfortunately I’m not the only one in the house who likes freshly laundered towels. Particularly those fresh from the dryer. Stack ’em high, and they’re even more attractive. When I come back after taking less than a minute to bring an armful of clothes upstairs—not even to put them away yet, but just to set them in the “I’ll put them away later” position on our cedar chest—invariably someone has taken possession of my towels. LIke a silent siren call that awakens resident felines from their deepest slumber, warm-from-the-dryer towels are a major attractant. And once one of the cats claims Mount Towelrest for their own, there’s not much that will depose them. Unless it’s dinnertime. And while the cats are gustatorially distracted, I’ll put my towels away in the linen closet. Except for maybe the top one, which by then will have enough cat fur to mark that territory as belonging to kitty king (or queen) and crown, and may need to be re-washed and dried for its intended use. Unless another cat gets to it first. Do your cats occupy your laundry? You may also like:
