Clean Clothes in the Laundry Basket

Taki and Haiku enjoy climbing into a laundry basket that contains warm clothes out of the dryer.  Today, early afternoon, I brought a basket of warm clothes into the house, and Haiku claimed the basket.  I ran errands, and when I arrived home, Taki was in the basket.  That makes sense, because if Haiku left the basket, the clothing would be warm where she had been lying. A while later, Haiku was back in the basket.  This has happened before, and sometimes, the cat in the basket stays there until late in the evening.  Mostly what is in this basket is bed linens, but there are other items in there also.  It would not be the first time that I have slept on the sofa because the cats slept on the bed linens in the laundry basket and it was too late to make the bed.
