Cat Loves Sleeping In Her Human's Backpack So Much, Her Family Made Her A Hazard Sign
Willow the cat has a talent for vanishing into the strangest places, and her family has learned to check the obvious spots twice.
After the adoption, Willow’s favorite pastime became finding dark little hiding spots to nap in, from furniture and suitcases to a backpack Andrew was ready to toss. That habit eventually led to a funny household solution, and one sign that made sure nobody accidentally sat on the cat.
Willow’s latest hiding place turned into a full-on family warning system.
“You’ll often be surprised to find her stuffed inside various things around the house,” Zutty said.
“Her favorite spots are the deep, dark places: under the covers, in furniture, inside suitcases, and apparently now my old backpack.”
Andrew had intended to get rid of the old backpack, but as soon as Willow laid eyes on it, she claimed it as her new favorite sleeping place.
The silly kitty spends hours in the bag, and because of her size, it can sometimes be hard to tell she's in there. Willow's family quickly became aware that her sleeping habits were becoming a little dangerous.
That backpack did not stay empty for long.
It feels a lot like the teen who planned to snatch her little sister’s beloved cat.
“My roommate smartly realized that this was a recipe for disaster,” Zutty said.
“She’s so small that it really just looks like an empty backpack lying flat on the ground. So he wrote up a great little sign to make sure everyone in the house knew when it was currently occupied.”
Andrew's roommate was concerned that someone might unknowingly step on the backpack while Willow was napping inside. So, he made her a hazard sign saying, "Cat inside, do not step."
The family places the sign on top of the backpack whenever Willow is taking her sneaky nap. Now she can snooze for as long as she likes with no worries.
“I’m sure it will continue to come in handy as Willow finds more hiding spots around the house,” Zutty said.
Willow clearly plans to keep everyone guessing.
