My wife and I try to fold the darn things, but they always end up looking "smooshed". It's even more fun when we put them on the bed with the "assistance" of our large black cat, who never saw a sheet he didn't want to play with. Hilarity mostly ensues!

A) I do not fold fitted sheets. A also do not dance ballet.
B) We have 6 cats. Wife makes the bed. I stay downstairs and listen for screams.
I use the Basic Training Technique. Roll the sucker like a pair of socks!
Find the top of the corner seams and fold like flat sheet, ignoring the lumps.
When making the bed, ignore the moving lumps until they start meowing for escape.
Only housekeeping skill I actually learned was how to fold fitted sheets.
How to actually keep a house clean would have been a better skill to learn.
Want to echo a couple of suggestions about just neatly rolling the fitted sheet. If you do that, it is real easy to tell which is the fitted (bottom) and which is the flat (top) sheet in the cupboard.
The Martha Stewart video How-To on this topic is actually pretty good. I still have issues, which I solved by putting the just-washed fitted sheet back on the bed I took it off of.
My former MIL taught me; I never knew you could fold them. Also, Martha has a tutorial on folding fitted sheets; it's really easy.
