Hey guys, little backstory. I've lived with my roommates going on two years, and they got a cat a few months before I first lived with them. Well, the 3 of us are parting ways when our lease is up,and they're letting me keep the cat since I've grown so fond of her (I never liked cats before I lived with her!) Anyway, I guess I've become more interested lately in her behavior seeing as it'll be just me and her in a few months. She does a lot of strange things, but the oddest thing has to be the following.
I leave my bedroom door cracked at night, because in the wee hours of daylight she usually comes in and plops down on my bed to sleep (or inside my dresser drawer, or hamper...). However before she goes to sleep, she often drags shoes into my room. To make this more clear, we have a 2nd floor apartment. However, it has a private entrance, and the foyeur (spelling??) is about 3' x 3' and then stairs that leads up into the main hallway. My roommates both leave all their shoes down there on the floor. I'm guessing there must be at least 7 pairs of shoes down there. All my shoes are in my room/closet. She NEVER has moved my shoes. EVER. Yet 4 or 5 times a week, I wake up to find various shoes lying under my bed, in my closet, outside my door, under my computer desk, and I even once found one behind the toilet in my bathroom.
Has anyone ever heard of this? I find it really odd that she goes through all the trouble of dragging these shoes up an entire flight of stairs just to drop them off in/around my room. One of my roommates is a paramedic, and he has these boots he wears from his days in the Navy. They honestly weigh at least 4-5 pounds a piece. Doesn't that seem like a lot of trouble for a cat to go to?
Here's a couple of pics of her cuteness:
