I often say my clothes have more cat hair on them than on the actual cat! And they seem especially fond of black... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1129175 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 03:33:52 +0000 Jacky 1129175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My roommate from college's cat is white, and he seems to be able to find all of the black clothes to lie on. We used to joke that he was really vain and new what colors would best show off his coat. My current cat loves to sleep in my laundry basket and my wardrobe when she gets the chance too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128957 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 23:31:12 +0000 ironkurtin 1128957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Janet - our cat does that too!&nbsp; When he was small he used to hug me and lick my earlobes.&nbsp; OW!!!&nbsp; Now he just hugs and cheeks me.&nbsp; Sometimes my husband holds him like a stuffed animal at night.&nbsp; They certainly do abandon themselves, right?</p> <p>My cat is gray.&nbsp; Anyone with hair issues, I highly recommend gray cats.&nbsp; You can't really see his hair. It's a miracle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128917 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:42:03 +0000 Mo 1128917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RunCarla, mine likes shoes too! &nbsp;Weird.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128912 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:39:22 +0000 April 1128912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My cat specifically loves hot, clean laundry straight from the dryer, in a basket. &nbsp;She's 18 years old but can find the agility to leap onto the dining room table if there's a warm basket of laundry on top. &nbsp;</p> <p>So much for folding... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128910 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:35:16 +0000 Carla 1128910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all about the shoes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128903 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:25:59 +0000 Linda 1128903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just have to chime in.&nbsp; I always joke -- and you must know it really IS a joke in this case -- that the cats are our little reminder that "there's a place for everything and everything in its place" is the ideal.&nbsp; After all, if I were to carefully rehang and put away or put in the laundry all of my items of clothing, the cats wouldn't have this temptation, now, would they? :-).&nbsp; It even kind of works, to a point.&nbsp; If I have a particularly prized item, I'm very patient about storing it properly.&nbsp; The less-prized (more workaday jeans, the odd t shirt) stuff, does sometimes get dubbed favorite cat bed.&nbsp; My bad!</p> <p>Petco sells these small "cat donut beds" every now and then, they're plush and have a bolster all around them, and when they were on sale once, when I was fostering two tiny kittens, we stocked up on them.&nbsp; Now that the kittens are all grown up, we don't have to continually launder and swap these beds but our cats do love them.&nbsp; Keeping a few of them around in strategic spots has helped minimize the playing in clean towels or bins of unfolded clean clothes.&nbsp; But the cats are so cute, it's really hard to shoo them if they DO land on our clothes, for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128899 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 22:15:54 +0000 jen 1128899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have three white shedding cats. Everyone in my family wear navy and black uniforms. Nightmare!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128843 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:41:47 +0000 Janet 1128843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, that's so cute. Years ago&nbsp;I had a cat named Worf who made so much noise and was the most aggressively affectionate cat I've ever known. Not only would he head-butt me in bed, he would push his whole face into my neck and chin and purr and lick me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course, this is the same cat who got adopted by me because when I picked him up, he put a paw on each side of my neck and started licking my face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128832 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:30:57 +0000 ironkurtin 1128832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Janet, if it helps, our cat snores too.&nbsp; And mumbles little "ohhh-mm-mm-mm-uu" noises.&nbsp; Because it doesn't sound like any other noise I have ever heard, it always takes me a second to realize what it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128815 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:17:06 +0000 lyn* 1128815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend's cat loves my tights - any chance she gets = claws through tights.</p> <p>Henceforth, no more cat sitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128813 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:13:21 +0000 Windchime 1128813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our Siamese, Jill, must have an internal gps which navigates her to the softest, warmest item in the house. If I leave clothing out, even if she's on the other side of the house, she'll find it within minutes and knead herself a little nest and curl up on it. She'll snuggle into the basket of clean laundry, too, if she gets the chance. Adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128804 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:07:15 +0000 Janet 1128804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Our dogs LOVE to lie on our clothes. Especially Tippi since she can actually jump up on our bed (Sophie has gotten a little too old to make it that far). And she ALWAYS chooses my husband's pillow or clothes to sleep on, and he hates dog hair on his stuff&nbsp;with a passion.&nbsp;</p> <p>Needless to say, the dogs don't sleep with us. It's probably better than way. Now I just get snoring in mono instead of surround-sound.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128799 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:00:47 +0000 Louise 1128799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Generally, no cats don't like water thankfully they're usually quite clean animals. One of ours takes a good 15 minutes washing to go to bed! Years ago my (sadly no longer here) kitty Willow had a really bad virus which made her incontinent with diarrhoea! We had no choice but to bath her daily, no mean feat as she was one feisty madam! We had to wear leather welding gauntlet gloves to avoid being scratched but she yowled, spit and hissed, though she enjoyed the cuddle in a warm towel afterwards and thankfully she was over the worst of the virus within a couple of weeks x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128791 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:50:59 +0000 Angie 1128791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, it's so much easier to wash a little doggie than a cat. Our girls liked water, and enjoyed the feeling afterwards. They were always extra happy and playful straight after a bath. We had to wash them weekly&nbsp;because they were allowed anywhere in the house, and got dirty after walkies. Cats I believe, do NOT like water.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128788 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:44:49 +0000 Classically Casual 1128788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a part time pet sitting business.&nbsp; Some of my clients intentionally leave worn before tee shirts on their bed for their kitties while they're away, so they'll be able to smell their people&nbsp; and be less lonely.&nbsp; Others just leave a radio on, usually tuned to NPR for some reason... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128750 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:11:53 +0000 Mo 1128750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, we've washed our cat. &nbsp;Amazingly he didn't do too badly, considering. &nbsp;Oh, he's also accidentally washed himself falling into my bathtub with me once or twice. &nbsp;Now that's funny! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128748 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:08:46 +0000 Suz 1128748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some cats will go so far as to eat their owner's wool and cashmere. I feel lucky that Max contents himself with kneading it. He also loves my plush bathrobe. Oh, and he does eat my important papers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128742 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:03:38 +0000 ironkurtin 1128742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to imagine washing my cat once a week, Angie.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128680 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:49:49 +0000 Angie 1128680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jasmine and Rosie (they were little dogs, and not cats),&nbsp;slept on our clothes all the time. Jasmine would jump into the laundry basket actually, and nestle between the clean folded clothes. We loved this behaviour&nbsp;and thought it was endearing. To them, it was somehow comforting.&nbsp;Our doggies were hypoallergenic, washed once a week, and slept with us on white bed sheets. Enough said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128671 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:39:24 +0000 rae 1128671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is somehow wired to think DH's deodorant scent is catnip! He does not like DH particularly, nor does he do this with all clothing, but if DH leaves a tee shirt on the floor while deciding between outfits, Hank will shoot over and <i>rub his face in the armpits</i> of the shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>He also likes the smell of fresh dryer sheets. We left the box out one day by accident and found him rubbing it all over his body.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128660 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 17:35:09 +0000 Louise 1128660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally! Put down clean washing or towels, coats, worn pyjamas or dressing gown in our house and one of them is up there like a shot! Gracie our little grey kitten has even discovered if someone leaves the airing cupboard door open she can jump into the sink then hop into the cupboard and bed down on the warm clean towels x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128621 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 16:53:40 +0000 gryffin 1128621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK - I have dogs not cats but they are bonded to me.&nbsp; Where I go, they go.&nbsp; Since they can't get to the laundry, they hop up and snooze on my pillow and my side of the bed.&nbsp; I think it's not just being the favorite I think it's being perceived as the alpha.&nbsp; You are the ne plus ultra of good things...food, treats, toys.&nbsp; I would take it as a statement of belonging.&nbsp; She is mine and from her come all the delights in the my universe, if that makes sense!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-cat-love-your-clothes#post-1128615 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 16:49:07 +0000 Anonymous 1128615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! luckily so far I haven't had this problem; but then we've only had our cat 5 weeks.
