My Cats and Laundry

My cats in laundry

My cats love freshly cleaned laundry. How much you ask? Well as soon as I grab the laundry basket they begin to follow me. They hang out in the laundry room admiring the different cycles the washing machine goes through. They also love the variety of noises from the tumble dryer.

I prefer my clean clothes to stay that way but my cats have a different plan. I am not sure if it is the heat from the dryer or the fresh smell from the laundry detergent but my cats are like missiles to the pile of clean clothes.

As pictured above you can see they prefer sheets over the other laundry items. First they smash themselves out a little nest and then they hang out for awhile until a nap is achieved. Sometimes my cats will spend several hours on top of the clean clothes.

After they are finished I throw the sheets back in the drier for about 10 minutes with an anti static cling dryer sheet to release the hairs from the fabric. Laundry day is my cat’s favorite day of the week. Just thought I would share the daily routine around our house with the nice visitors here.

Do your cats like laundry as much as my cats do? I have had cats go through the laundry basket before but these two only like clean clothes! I would prefer they liked the dirty ones.

Some people say just tell your cat to get off the clean clothes. Well in our house our cats are full legalized citizens. If a cat is sitting on a chair then he must have got there first. Thereby the chair is his until he is done with it.
