The Laundry Basket
Like most other cats, Oxford loved jumping into the laundry basket when the humans didn’t look. They scolded him, but he didn’t mind. The clothes were warm and it felt good on against his thick black fur. It reminded him of when he was a kitten and had six siblings. Oxford’s mother had taught him and his six siblings how to properly use fresh laundry. One by one, she had carried them into the basket by the scruff, and one by one, they had fallen asleep in the bed of towels, t-shirts, and pants. For Oxford, the laundry basket wasn’t just a cozy place to sleep. It brought back many wonderful memories of kittenhood.
