I'm a bad cat mom

My cat has clawed my basement door jam to shreds and when I finally caught her in the act, I put her under a laundry basket and put some folded clothes on top so she couldn't just tip it over. Then I got a phone call and forgot I had done such a thing.

An hour later I was sitting in the living room when I was startled by the appearance of a small, slow-moving shadow in the hallway. She has managed to maneuver the basket through the side room, past the stairs, and into the living room. The pile of clothes are still on it. Her brother is very interested in this new game and purring his head off. She isn't as amused. If she makes it in reach of the couch, I'll take it off her.
