What Every Cat Wants — Made Just For U

Everyone knows cats and boxes are a perfect match. There are enough videos online of cats sitting in, jumping into and wresting boxes that one would think a box is a perfect cat toy. At least that's the excuse I make for having several different-sized boxes scattered around the house in case my cats need further entertainment.

When I found an elevated whicker basket at a flea market, I thought it was perfect to hold the larger fresh produce I like to buy in summer: cantalopes, watermelons, apples and tomatoes, all best stored at room temperature.

After lining the basket with a soft towel, I was ready to go shopping. Margaret beat me to it.

Not the shopping, the basket!
