Cat Nests

Have you ever noticed how cats love to nest?

They love boxes, bags, shelves, drawers, dryers that are turned off, foots of beds, piled up blankets, and any other soft place and hidey hole you can imagine. Baskets were made for cats. Just ask one, they’ll tell you.

Nezumi’s favorite nest is on my guitar bag when it’s folded up and sitting on a stool. It’s soft and she likes the somewhat shiny surface. Shinji’s special nest is on a shelf in the middle of a chest of drawers. It’s a perfect cat sized nook, and he still manages to fit into it even though I put things in there to try to keep him out.

I’ve seen Nezumi sleeping on a pantry shelf…

on the computer desk…

on beds…

in chairs…

trying to fit themselves inside sandals…

in windows…

under desks…

in the laundry basket, empty or full…

and so many other places I can’t recall them all.

Once in a great while, they’ll sleep in the beds I made for them!
