It’s just occurred to me for the first time to wonder whether I should run my cat’s soft toys through the laundry once in awhile.
Is this something a complete crazyperson would do?
I mean, he puts his mouth on them and they’re pretty dirty. They just lie around on the floor when he’s not putting his mouth on them.
But then what about laundry detergent? Is laundry detergent bad for him? It can’t be good, right? Maybe I should rinse them under the tap, wring them out, and hang them from pegs on the shower curtain rod to dry?
Listen: It’s all I can do to empty his litter box regularly. I don’t need to take this on.
He’s watered and fed. He’s petted, and purrs.
Look: As long as the cat’s happy, we’re doing okay.
I don’t need this kind of pressure right now.
