Mine does. The laundry basket is on the landing at the top of the stairs. As soon as I start pulling things out and sorting them in to piles she becomes very active. She will often leap into the basket and take swipes at me as I pull things out. Or else she will leap onto the banister and start taking swipes at me from there. That puts my heart in my mouth in case she falls down the stairwell, so I sometimes have to just walk away until she loses interest. Anyone would think it was a basket full of catnip not grubby laundry!
