rethinking the whole basket idea...

After three weeks of stubbornly avoiding it, Sam looks pretty relaxed and comfortable in his new basket, doesn't he?

He might climb out long enough to board the Friday Ark and pay a visit to his friends at Carnival of the Cats on Sunday.

you can lead a cat to basket...

This is Sam.

This is Sam's brand new basket.
(Note the cushy-comfy blanket,
thoughtfully scented with catnip, even!)

And this is Sam investigating his lovely new digs.
Mmmm. Nip!

But this old cardboard boxtop is where Sam still prefers to nap.
(Note the abandonned nip-scented basket, sitting empty on the left.)

What is it with cats and cardboard boxes, anyway?!

Sam will be napping aboard the Friday Ark and at Carnival of the Cats, hosted this week by Hot(M)BC. You'll also find him wide awake and helping out at his other gig.
