Mr. Whiskers thinks my excavator bucket is his personal napping spot

I was using my mini-excavator to dig a garden maze in my backyard (it's my weekend project to relax). My neighbor's cat, Mr. Whiskers, kept climbing into the bucket and falling asleep, like it was his new favorite spot. What's the funniest thing you've found using your equipment for something it wasn't meant for?

That cat logic troychen mentioned applies to all pets honestly.

Personal napping spot" reminds me of cats who sleep in laundry baskets.

Pets always pick the dumbest places to sleep. My dog sleeps on shoes instead of his bed. They just like what feels safe to them.

Oh man, that's great. My old truck's engine bay was a stray cat's heated bed once, which totally fits what @thomas441 said about pet logic. Found the little guy curled up next to the battery after a drive.
