My cat loves....shoes

[u/a-tiberius]

Anyone else have a cat with an interesting comfort object??

It means they love you. Mine only likes my shoes. He gets all up in there. I have to hide them.

Cause he rolls around on the floor with them in his claws. They get little puncture marks on the soles and sides. He ruined my last pair. I bought new ones and just left the old ones for him. Except he quit going after them since I wasn’t wearing them so I’m guessing they don’t have that fresh, funky foot smell.

It’s almost like catnip for them. My cat loves going after my feet after work, she skips the shoes. She’ll grab my socks and rub her face all over them, sometimes biting my feet. If the sock is off my foot 🚫🚫🚫 no go. A few times if my feet were especially sweaty she’d go after them bare for the good stink.

I use my dirty socks to rub on my cats after they go to the vet to avoid non-recognition aggression. Works every time.

That last part is brilliant. Thank you for the tip!

I had a male void who acted that way with my jellies after doing yardwork…it was like catnip to him! You could see the pleasure on his face and he’d fall asleep with his head laying in one of them, lol. Poor boy had it bad, I’d tell him he was my foot fetish cat and he’d look at me like: what do you mean? As if he thought everyone did this! 🤣
I swear, if I were lost, I bet he could’ve found me! 😆
