The 4 step method of proper basket napping (Buddy pics)

Cassy, my exuberent (to put it mildly!) tabby boy, counters that it is MUCH more fun and challenging to wait until the basket is occupied with a sleeping sisfur -- then RACE across the floor squealing "Cannonball" in cat-ese and flinging your body atop said sisfur. An enjoyable romp ensues, she stalks off in a huff, and you get a warmed up spot to nap.

This gingerly stepping into an empty basket has him very confused. Please elaborate...
