Downyflake the Basket Cat

We purchased the basket at a local flea market. The intended purpose was to store magazines and make the entire stack portable.

The second day the basket sat alongside the reading chair, an occupant moved in. A 16 pound orange Maine Coon Cat (according to Anne McCaffrey) named Downyflake.

"Squatter's Right," his look said. "You did buy this for me, didn't you?"

The basket has never held a single magazine even after basket cat abandoned the project for a small white gift box that once held a nice sweater.
