Quote - My cat does this really weird thing...She rarely meow's...but she will pick up socks in her mouth and deliver them to various places in my house, and howls the entire time until she drops them...I leave socks laying around  so she can fulfill this "need".

 

My oldest, Abby, has been doing this since she was 4 months old.  She adopted a rolled up pair of socks, and she still has them to this day. Of course I wash them from time to time, much to her dismay!

It's funny because she can be cuddling with me in bed or on the couch, and she will get up and leave the room and then start meowing, loudly: Like she's in distress. I know she has the socks in her mouth and she's roaming around calling to me like she's lost. I call her name and talk to her until she "finds" me.  Then she drops the socks on the floor, doesn't even have to be near me, and then comes over to me and jumps back up for more cuddles.

She doesn't play with the socks. She won't sleep with them, cuddle with them, or run to them if I throw them. But she always knows where they are and will carry them into the room I'm in. It's like she's announcing her arrival or something.

She only does it with this one pair of socks though. I've put others out and she won't touch them.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
