The Marriage Will be Next Weekend

[jeweledvixen]

I came home from the doctor's office today and my calico, Coco was in the office making love to my slippers. Now, they are pretty special slippers. They come up over my ankles, they have ties and two pom-poms on each ankle and they are leopard print fake fur. She was just rubbing her head all over them. When I came in the office, she left.

Just now, she was sleeping on the floor (on my sweater that I put there for her). I had to get up to go to the bathroom. When I got up, she got up - and started in on the slippers again. She stopped to follow me to the bathroom, since that is always a group event. But she followed me back into the office and started again. Now she's stopped and it appears to be bath time.

She's never done this before with anything else of mine, so I don't get it, but it's hysterical to watch. You'd think I'd doused the slippers in catnip, except for the fact that neither of my cats like catnip. It holds their attention for less than five minutes, then they wander off to take a nap. ::Shrug:: Whatever. She's a cat. That's my only explanation. :D

LMAO!! I can relate to this - I have several pairs of dress shoes with tiny little tooth marks in the toe and on the heel. Abby cut her teeth on them! My mother had a cat who loved shoes, too. I think there's something about the odour of our feet that cats associate with us. O_o

Must be! I have a well-worn sweater that I've put down on the floor inside the office door and Coco, the slipper lover, lays on it all the time.

I had a friend who told me her cat used to dig through her hamper, pull out her dirty underwear and chew the crotch out of them. Ewwwwwwww! :/ I guess I'm pretty lucky, all things considered.
