Not sure really what to title this thread.
My youngest cat is 7 years old. I got her when she was 4 months old and shortly after I got her she adopted a pair of rolled up socks that she snagged from my clean laundry pile.
She doesn't want to play with them, so if I throw them she just sits and looks at me, and I'm the one fetching them.
What she does is carts them from one room to another while meowing, and then drops them at my feet. She doesn't cuddle them or sleep with them or anything else. It's almost like she uses them as a tool to announce herself.
If I am in the living room and the socks are not in the room, she will leap down and interupt a nice "drooling snuggle session", go off to the bedroom and find the socks and then start meowing as she's carrying them around. I have to call her because she seems to roam around like she's lost or something and sounds desperate to find me and bring me the socks. The same thing at night when I'm in bed. She will be cuddling with me and then suddenly leap down, go into the living room, find the socks and start meowing desperately. I have to call her because she seems "lost" and can't find her way back to me. She then drops the socks on the floor, leaps back up and resumes snuggling.
Does anyone know what this is about? It's cute and all, but really strange.
