Ok, no, Missy knows exactly where the cat is, her senses of smell and hearing are quite good. It is more likely that she is looking at me to see if I will throw the ball at my feet (not pictured). It is common for Izzy the cat to “hide” in the laundry basket given any opportunity.

Izzy is most definitely a basket cat. What is remarkable is that the dog doesn’t pester her in whatever basket she choses to occupy. Smart dog.
