To let my cats sleep in the Moses Basket?

[GnocchiNineDoors]

DD no longer uses her Moses Basket, has been in her big cot for weeks and before that, a travel cot. I don't have storage space in my house, so intended to offer it to any friends who wanted or needed it, however a lot of my friends who are pg are pg with their first and have doting GPs and such like and therefore it is not needed or wanted.

I suppose I could Gumtree / Freecycle it, but in the meantime, I had put some old towels in that I no longer use, and it was in the corner of my bedroom that houses the hoover, DDs outgrown clothes etc.

Well, since then, my two cats have taken to sleeping in it (the never even looked at it before when DD was using it). They curl up together and just look bloody divine.

AIBU to keep it, for them?

Should add, now that cats have even gone into it once, I wouldn't offer it to anyone

Sounds like the decision has been taken out of your hands

I've bought my cat two beds and she turns her nose up at them. Preferring to sleep just behind my knees all night.

Oh YANBU at all! Our childhood cats used to kip in our doll's prams. Their eyes would light up when they saw us playing. We used to push them in the garden in the them.

Besides, what on earth makes you think this is your choice?!

I need to see a photo before i decide.

stray the my apologies

OK, i've added a photo. I left the towels in, incase the general consensus was that IWBU

Don't know what Phoebe (the girl cat is doing, posing I think )

seems a good idea, if you do decide to have another baby i just wouldn't get a moses basket

ooh make your profile public so I can see the pictures too.

My dog's bed is DD's old moses basket but minus the canopy!

Glad to hear im not the only one! Am on phone so when I get to the laptop ill update my profile

Okay, done.

Fantastic photo. I would let them have it.

That's settled then. Tbh, not planning on any more babies, so no need to keep the basket.

*for my use, I mean

Oh my! Let them keep it!

YAabsolutelyNBU. Lovely for them. :)

Thanks Zukie

Im half glad they've taken a shine to something apart from the very lovely and rather pricey indoor/outdoor beanbag I bought for the garden last summer which they commandeered shortly after buying. Now I can loll in the Yarden and they are happy too.

Aww they look so comfy

Great that it's on a stand too cos cats usually prefer to be higher up off the ground.

Nope, it not yours to make any decisions about any longer. Your masters have pulled rank.

Oh, they look so cute in that basket! :o

You know they're posting on Catsnet right now about their nice human kitting them out with a fab new bed?

Haha, I can imagine

"AIBU to boot my sister out of the bed, after all, it was me who got first dibs on it?"

Awwwwww

Can I have the baby if she's grown out of her Moses basket? Please? I've ruined mine....

13 yrs old .... Shudder
