Why do my cats like to sleep on my flip flops? Not my feet, but my flip flops lying on the floor! Every day they lay on them for hours!!!

    Mine does the same thing! But he goes around the house and gathers them all up in a pile and sleeps on them! So strange...

    I think it's because they smell like you. My cat used to love to curl up on anything I'd sweated in.

    Because they are rubber and absorb your smell. So they smell like you and they are comforted by that. To them, the flip flops are soothing. Kinda like if I change my clothes to head to the gym and I get home to find my cat sleeping on the clothes I wore that day.

    lol! I know! My cat loves to sleep on whatever it is I'm reading. Like, for example, I knit and I use a pattern. The pattern is laying near me on the couch so i can refer to it now and then. So of course where does my cat want to sleep? Right smack dab in the middle of the pattern I'm trying to read!
    And the older they get, the weirder they get. But I love em.

    That's my cats and my homework. Just a bit ago I had an online, timed quiz in Chemistry..and up came three cats fighting over the open books on my lap!

    Oh yes, my cat would love to do that, but with any shoes. We joke that he has a foot fetish! :laugh:

    I love love love cats.... I have three and if it's clean they want to put their hair all over it. If it's mine they will take it and hide it and if it's important it's as good as gone. I lost my favorite cat ever last October after 17 wonderful years with her and she was a dogcat... that's right. She fetched, curled up at the foot of the bed, loved to go for walks and overall had dog attributes in a cats body.

    LOL! My cat sleeps on my flip flops and running shoes. I actually have pictures of him laying on my sneakers with his feet inside them! What a freak!! :)

    Oh you gotta love cats. I lost my first cat January 2010 and realized I couldn't go on WITHOUT a cat in the house. So my friend gave me one black one, Bear and then I adopted another orange one, Diego.

    Diego sleeps wrapped around my head every night and Bear is always in our shoes...he just plops down across them. And many days, I go to put my shoes on and find a bell ball or mouse inside...

    Bunch of weirdos... but I love them :smile:

    Haha, my black cat loves to play fetch....he has more fun chasing around a hair elastic than any of the elaborate toys I have bought him....and the other one LOVES the laser pointer...I've gotten that cat to jump all the way up one of our closet doors chasing that thing....

    I have a 22lb demon disguised as a cat. This creature likes to hang out in the shower, has a plastic bag chewing fetish and likes to climb into the laundry basket as I am trying to fold. He also sleeps where ever he damn well pleases LOL

    My cat and my son's cat both like to lay on plastic grocery bags. When I go to bed my cat likes to sleep on top of my feet.. My son's cat won't sleep on the bed if I'm in it. Weird.

    My cats chew bags as well...I don't know if it's a texture thing, lol, maybe they like the sound...? Either way, you have to be careful...we have a couple cats at the shelter that are allergic to plastic and chewing the bags could kill them =(

    My cats chew on plastic bags too. I heard it was an oil thing, there is petroleum in the bags. I try to keep plastic bags away from them but they manage to find them and start chewing on them in the middle of the night...

    I have one cat that hides his toys in my roommate's shoes. The other drags laundry upstairs from the basement. The third one periodically has spaz attacks and tears through the house...

    Yeah... cats are so weird.

    Our boy cat, Walter, loves to lie on our running shoes after we've run in them. He also likes to rub against our legs when we're all sweaty and stinky and gross. Our girl cat, Daria, carries around small pieces of paper, like a dog. Last night she brought us a grocery receipt she found in my fiance's office. Weirdos, lol

    That is to funny. I have 3 cats all orang tabbies. They sleep in the weirdest places. Ronaldo likes to open the cabinet and sleep in y big cooking pot. My big cat George sleeps in any bag especially if it has a zipper. He will unzip it to climb in and nap. Crazy cats.:bigsmile:

    Then we have a Oliver who fetches. Plays hide and seek and speaks on command. He must think he is a dog.

    :laugh: My cat has those spaz attacks too. All of a sudden, he'll just take off like a flash. A lot of times he'll do it after he's used to litter pan.

    I have four cats and Basil loves loves loves shoes! She'll stick her whole head in my sneakers, as far as her fat little head will go. And she has found a way to get on top of a free floating kitchen cabinet and she can't get down. And she keeps getting back up there. If you're on the couch, especially with food, Ginger is THERE. And Poppy loves to hop on top of the clothes I'm laying out for the day, they're still in my hand and she's already on them. And Pepper prefers to lay right on my chest when I'm laying on my back.

    The four of them make for some great entertainment
