I've been Jason'd...

My kitten, Jason, has a thing for socks. I fold the laundry, I roll up the socks and if the kids don't put it away right away, Jason takes the sock rolls out of the baskets and plays with them. If the kids leave a sock on the floor, Jason picks it up in his mouth and relocates it. The other day I was taking a shower. I had left my clothing, including a clean pair of socks, on the bathroom counter. I came out of the shower, dried off and went to get dressed. No socks. I had been Jason'd. We eventually found the socks under the bed. Have your pets every done anything to cause you to coin a new phrase like that?

Banjo likes to drape himself in my bras and drag them around. Pickles does this too. He hooks his horns onto the straps and pulls them off them line. It's so funny to see him walking around with one of my hot pink or grape coloured bras hanging off his horns.

Don't know about that. He does love socks but he likes to sleep on my chest...

Doesn't sound like a very fair fight! And you're welcome!

nope, never had that happen, but my cats like dirty socks a lot - couldn't care that much about clean ones.

Probably don't know because when I take them out, I'm careful to not have a cat where they can get them

I, on the other hand, don't put things away right away. Jason benefits from this!

He doesn't really care whether they're clean or dirty!

Our cat "Meow" the gray tabby, when he was a kitten he would take any caps he could find to play with. Lids off pop bottles, toothpaste caps, etc, and he would carry them around and play with them until he lost them under the couch where he couldn't get to them any more. Whenever I moved the couch I would find all sorts of caps that he had lost. He has finally out grown doing that, and is more into chasing lizards and catching birds now.

Caps make great cat toys!

That's so cute. No my cats don't have any quirky habits like that, at least they don't play with my clothes. They will play with strings if they see one, so clothing that has tie ups or strings, such as on pajama pants, we have to keep them tucked away.

Last night he was in all four laundry baskets playing with the socks and mixing them all up. It was pretty funny!

haha my cat likes to take food from you. If you leave something sweet on your plate she will take it from you. At one point she took my donut from me as well as my baklava. Cuddles just loves sweet things for some reason and if she doesn't get the attention she wants she will "yell" at me or hide under the dresser.

I had one cat who was crazy for bread and one of my cats now likes plastic. Never heard of one with a taste for sweets before though.

I keep a tiny basket full of sweets and toffees on the coffee table just to have something available if anyone pops in. Only recently though have I been able to put it there because when I still had my cat she would pinch the toffees and swipe them all over the floor. She didn't want to eat them but just to play. She even recognised the noise made by unwrapping a sweet wrapper when she was asleep and would wake up and want to play. We didn't give this game of hers a name though but we were aware that we couldn't leave any kind of wrapped sweets or toffees within her reach.

Almost anything can be a cat toy! Cary left a lollipop on the counter and the cats were having a good old time batting it around!
