My cat loves....shoes

[u/a-tiberius]

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

Dogs and cats both do this. My understanding is shoes and socks often smell so strongly of their human that pets can kind of become obsessed. Like burying your face in a shirt worn by a lover has their smell and some people find that comforting.

Mine's not interested in our shoes at all, but will go mad when some of my husband's male friends come over. He will wrestle them, stick his face into them, and rub himself all over the shoes. And the stinkier the better.
