In my neverending mostly unsuccessful attempts to get organized and get a
handle on clutter (which I hate)..
Hobby Lobby had all wicker baskets 1/2 off, so I bought 3. One large one for a
clothes hamper, one medium one to put beside DH's recliner for his
"stuff"...remote, TV guide, books, magazines. Another for my current reading
material.
These cats.They immediately claimed them and won't move. Now, if I'd bought one
for $89.95 at Petsmart which was labeled "Cat Bed", they wouldn't have touched
it with a ten-foot pole.
The one Frank is in has a handle...I even picked it up (cat and all) and moved
it across the room. He didn't budge.
So, I guess if you want to organize your cats, wicker baskets are the way to
go..

P.s. My mom bought a basket she thought was just NermalLee sized. Nermal
didn't look at it. So finallly one day she thought, oh I'll just put some
magazines in there. She tossed one in and went to do something. When she
came back, there was Nermal all snug in the basket. So, she just wanted a
nice cushion.

may have to go and buy one or two or...

No, they didn't have a liner at all!! Just hard wicker. Go figure!

Cute! Roxy would love that - she would love to go for "rides" in that
basket, ie, have me swing her back and forth. So the handles would be
very convenient for me.

Oh, now that's a new one on me. I was simply amazed that Frank won't get out of
the basket if you move it. It never occurred to me that he might like a "ride"!
Gives a whole new meaning to "catslave."

Awww, how cute! I love cats-in-boxes. I'm glad Nikki is one of those box
lovers. This is my favourite of her in a box.

ROFL!! If I didn't know the kitty in that box was alive and well, that would be
just plain disturbing!! There is just nothing cuter in the world than those two
little white stockinged feet sticking up.

That is a perfectly Frank sized basket. How could you think of putting
it to any other use.
The challenge around here is to get one past the cat who's too big for
it. Tanada loves baskets, the smaller the better. I see her eyeing the
area above my kitchen cupboards where I have various baskets mounted and
I see her little kitty mind trying to figure out how to get the smallest
one down. She couldn't fit in it in a million years, but she still dreams.
