Every cat owners knows that the second the laundry comes out, the cat comes out too. Really, it's enough to look away for one second, and once you turn around, your cat is already sitting on the fresh laundry, leaving their lovely lovely fur all over the place.

Maybe it's because sometimes the laundry is warm, maybe it's because they just wanna spread their scent everywhere, and maybe it's because their tiny little scoundrels who just wanna sit where they aren't supposed to sit. Regardless, they sure do have the strangest fascination with laundry, and much as cat hair on our clothes can be frustrating, seeing them in the laundry pile still kinda makes us laugh. So, enjoy these silly little creatures and their love for laundry, but don't get distracted if you just took your laundry out! Oh, well, too late, kitty is already in there.
