Curiosity and cats are funny things. Why do cats have such a queer (as in "odd") sense of interest in how things work and hidden crevices? What makes them so interested in the unknown, and what gives them the courage/stupidity (tom·A·to/tomäto) to investigate?

With the added benefit of being cute, kittens being curious really gets me every time. And Walter IS cute.

Curiosity...

provided a warm spot for the cat.

Note Walter lurves the laundry. He's always "helping" me with domestic chores like folding laundry, loading the dishwasher, and rinsing dishes. In the pictures above, I believe that he is checking that the pockets on the jeans are inside-(um)inside. (What do you call it when pockets are not inside-out?) But his enjoyment of the laundry isn't limited to the warm, fresh-outta-the-dryer stuff.

Is this part of the 'fluff n' fold' service?

I have another picture for you. Here he is piled under a load of wet whites; cozy as could be. Silly kitten. And you know that I had to pull him outta there. (Ignore Walter's laser eyes in this pic. You do not have the security clearance.)

No felines were harmed in the washing or drying of our laundry.
