Cats and shoes

Many cats seem to have a symbiotic relationship with shoes.

Some pee in their people’s pumps. None of my kitties has ever done this.  Mostly, they stick their entire faces in, snout first, and sigh - like a female human slipping her feett into a  fabulous pair of Manolo Blahniks.

It doesn’t matter what kind of shoe it is, really - flip flop, sneaker, dress shoe … male, female, child … leather, plastic - I think my kitties would be thrilled with Dorothy’s red slippers, if they were available. Although the red slippers are Dorothy’s, not mine.

That’s the key - the shoes must belong to me. My Sofie and Sam do not “love up” my husband’s shoes. They both prefer my footwear, especially the leather ones.

All this shoe fetish behavior usually occurs when my actual feet aren’t around, either.

If they are  in mood for people feet, you can find them under the office desk, draped over my husband’s.

If his feet are in his shoes.
