the perfect cat bed

Cats
Many misguided cat servants spend money on
things marketed as cat beds only to find their cat
never uses it. Cats sleep wherever the hell they
want. If you want them to sleep in a particular
place, you need to put whatever the hell they want in
a particular place. Lidja, like many cats, has a
penchant for curling up into things she doesn't quite
fit into, and has taken many a nap in my laptop bag
or random boxes and baskets she happens upon. I
noticed recently that, in lieu of my laptop bag
(which I freecycled before moving) and random boxes
(which we took to the basement storage), she was
seeking out the quilt my grandmother made and gave as
a wedding present. I also noticed that the box in
which Thomas' new FiveFingers arrived was just about
Lidja-sized. So I wrapped the box in the quilt, and
waited about an hour.
