Did you ever have a cat that loved old shoes?

Boy has he outgrown my shoe

Tuffy has a shoe fettish. I have to watch out for my good shoes because he'll do to them what he's doing to my old work shoes. I keep thinking he must love stinky stuff. Check out the video I made of him with my old work shoes.

I really have to watch out for my good shoes, if not he'll do to them what he's doing to my worn work shoes. He is so funny.

When our beloved Buttons was a kitten she loved to curl up in Mike's work shoe. She was ecstatic when he retired so she could curl up on him every day.

My cat does not care, a neighbor had a small grey cat who loved shoes. She came inside and she rubbed her face against all shoes she could see inside the house.

That cat was claiming you. I have recently read that cats will rub their faces on things they wish to claim.

@rebelann - She was a tiny sweet cat. I was sad when they moved and I have not seen the kitty anymore.

That is too cute. My cocker spaniel was like that, she didn't want to miss any of my steps.

Thanks, he is a riot. I just find it strange that he licks the inside of my old shoes.

That's quite interesting! Pets would have their own habits and likings. Does he tries to chew somehow or just play with it?

don't have a cat that loves old shoes. But I have a dog who destroys all shoes, be it new or old.

I have been blessed with a pup that only destroys my jeans and bedspreads, my shoes were not an issue

Thankfully the kitty hasn't destroyed my shoes ..... yet.

Tuffy still looks like an adorable Himi to me. Peter cat puts things in my old sandal then hunts the object, stalking it and attacking.

Perhaps he is getting high on the smell. No offence intended.
