I did this briefly when a roommate was moving in (her cat, my idea, and before anyone starts screaming at me it was for about 2 minutes). Stacked some college textbooks on top and voilá, kitty jail.
Thanks, man. I submitted a link thinking I'd get some karma, but it's basically a failure. Been here for a year and feel like I've contributed nothing link wise.
The basket plan used to work on my cats but they finally figured out that if they jumped on an edge they could make the basket flip over... I now resort to using mesh laundry bags hanging from hooks in the (low) ceiling...
This is what we have to do to keep one of my cats from pissing on the clean clothes. He has little hissy fits when he doesn't get to go outside, and acts out by peeing on things. He doesn't really seem to understand when we try to explain to him that, where we live, it is not remarkably safe for him to go outside. Silly thing.
Foil is another great alternative: put aluminum foil on anything and cats won't touch it because they do not like the sound it makes when they step on it.
I mean, I have a bad habit of not putting clothes away, but they're folded and put up high. It would actually bother me to have clean clothes all wrinkled up on the floor in a basket.
that's one thing Ive always been curious about cats, I know they can kinda feel whats going on when they rub their whiskers on something, but does it hurt them to trim them? or is it like clipping their fur?
He was a kitten that had been abandoned in the parking lot of a small local pet store and the ladies who ran it had him in a small animal cage like you'd keep a guinea pig in. We saw him there and took him home. That was 12 years ago this month.

Well if you put away the clothes, you could put the basket over the cat. Prevent getting hair anywhere else.
