Basket case

“Baby blankets… Oh! The children (meaning cats) will love it…”
“I think we need new cat bowls. What do you think of these steel ones?”
“Look a basket, so many baskets! Shall we…???”

On one such trip Ma and Baba came home with three baskets for the cats. One for every size. (The vision of 29 baskets  floating around the house probably stopped them from picking up more.)
The tiniest one was so tiny that it was automatically reserved for the Smudge who had just joined the family. The other two were up for grabs.
Every cat wanted a basket.
While some were okay with sharing, most wanted one to themselves, taking turns. Waiting patiently for the cats in the basket to move out.
Nemo not only wanted a basket, he wanted the smallest one at that!
