Every other week, unless otherwise warranted, Mom gathers up all the cat bedding and runs them through the laundry. This usually takes a couple of loads and that way, no one goes without something to lay on if their favorite blanket just happens to be in the wash. For the most part, this system works well.

But there always has to be that special snowflake.

Ruby, I need to wash your tower suite bedding today. C’mon out so I can swap your blanket out with another.

NOOooooyyYYYEEEEOOOOOW don’t think that’s a good idea today, Mom. I think you should go away and leave my Ruby-smelling blanket alone. You know how long it took me to get it smelling just right?

Doesn’t matter, sweetie. C’mon out. The sooner you do, the sooner you can stink up this new blanket.

Mom, I don’t think I like what you’re implying!
