We Have a New Game

Theo, the world's least self-entertaining cat, has come up with a new game:

stick-and-laundry-basket. 

Now the thing about cat games is that they make just as little sense as those thought up by a 4-year-old, but children MIGHT explain the ever-shifting rules to you--though cats are far less likely to cheat.  So far the idea of this one seems to be that the cat jumps IN the laundry basket, the human pokes the stick through the holes, and the cat tries to grab it--until the cat freaks out for no reason at all, hops out of the basket, and runs away.  Or this is my understanding so far..
