She is obsessed with socks and hides stashes of them around the house and then later brings them to us as gifts.

We had a sock cat once. We'd find oddly stacked socks like weird art in the hallway.

She always seemed to know when I had a date coming over, though, because unfailingly, that's when she'd drag a bra right out into the middle of the living room floor, in easy view of the door. She never did it any other time, either. Damn fuzzbutt must have been psychic.

I don't know if that makes her worst cat, for embarrassing me in a spectacularly entertaining fashion, or best cat, because maybe she was trying to make sure I got laid regularly. It's been over twenty years now since then, and it remains a mystery.

It is hilarious. I had to buy my daughter three packages of socks because wherever her stash is now it is more innovative than previous stashes and I have yet to find it.

It's also so cute when I'm in bed with a migraine and miserable to medicate and fall into groggy sleep only to wake up a few hours later with 12 assorted socks next to me on the bed. 12! Real number!

Now I'm curious if anybody else had a cat that randomly licks plastic bags. Our wee insane Siamese did that, and we would just hear the quiet, raspy rattle of plastic for twenty minute stretches or so, and for some reason it was oddly creepy. We'd try to call her over to make it stop, but then she'd just look at us with Innocent Face<tm>, and then go right back to licking the plastic bag.

That cat's Innocent Face<tm> was simply never to be believed.

My cat is terrified of plastic bags so its kind of the opposite of that. Nothing has her bolting out of the room faster than me shaking out a fresh trash bag.

One of my favorite YT cat video channels did a video about their cat and plastic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDRLATymNV4

IIRC I saw something about it once. The cats that do it like the sound.

Re: cats and socks, I have a friend in Ohio whose cat steals balled up socks. They're her babies. She carries them around and cries over them. >.>

One month from my mother finishing chemo. We got back the bloodwork yesterday... and based on the numbers, she is officially in remission!

She has to have this bloodwork done every 6-8 weeks for the rest of eternity, to make sure that number doesn't start climbing again, but for the moment the news is good.

...I want that last one.

It gives new meaning to the question 'Want to bone?'

[WildBaboons]

@Meg someone was mentioning how your puns were missed just yesterday

[Meg]

D:D D:D

@Meg is becoming an expert at Dad Jokes.

I have had two who were obsessed with licking plastic bags, yeah.

Our cat will lick plastic bags all night long.

A lot of plastic bags are made with some animal fat in their makeup so they like to lick at it because of flavor.

Animals are weird.

[Thenomain]

My cat will lick my mouth.

I finally discovered that this is when his water or food bowl was empty. He's a very good self-feeding cat so I just keep it full.

It's absoutely freaky, but I love that I have an intelligent cat.

I really miss these on that one game.

@Thenomain Ancient Cat was amazing with this sort of thing. If she had any sort of problem, she would run up to me immediately and yowl a very specific sort of yowl. Paw caught inside her collar and she couldn't get it out? Yowl at Mommy. Ear got a spider bite and was swelling? Come yowl that yowl at Mommy. And so on. 'Mommy and Daddy are arguing about something'? Rush right in between us and meowl the most PEEVISH noise either of us had ever heard until we both shut the fuck up (other than trying not to giggle at the small, highly indignant puffball that was just wailing right over the both of us until we stopped). There were other examples, but those two were just incredibly clever and sweet. Clever beasties are awesome.

Currently, we have an average beastie and the dimmest bulb in the chandelier. Somehow, the flurfaderp is equally awesome, because she is as lovey-dovey as she is super unsmart and uncoordinated. This is a creature that is so earnest in her insistence on snuggling that she'll lose her balance and faceplant when she over-reaches for a headbonk on the regular, and will 'aren't I adorable' wriggle her way right off the bed at least once a week. She taught us that the really, really, dumb ones are just as awesome... if they're lovey-dumb.

I worry.

I have a running joke on one of my RL friends who makes dad jokes all the time. My theory is that he's a dad, he just doesn't know it, but the instinct is too strong.

So I have several theories of who has had his child and how they have different facebook accounts to keep it a secret from him.

[surreality]

Sadly, I only have one traditional Dad joke. My father puns egregiously instead. It's so common that if me, my mother, or my husband sees an opening for a pun and he's not present to make it, one of us now must, citing "because Dad's not here to do it for us" as the cause -- not because he's a convenient scapegoat, but because he really, really would.

Taylor Swift Wins. Let this be a lesson. You leave my girl alone.

[Deleted]

@Tyche Skeletor McBoringMusic won a lawsuit over ruining someone's career based on zero proof of misconduct.

All she ever does is sing about how many dudes she bangs and then drops. She might as well be a hip hop artist with the way she acts.

In other news, I am very glad that human beings don't live forever. Because I know that someday, she will fade into the pages of history.

[Tyche]

@Admiral Why do you got to be so mean? Can't you see the tears on her guitar?

[Misadventure]

@tyche @admiral Are either of you seriously suggesting that what someone sings about, or how many people they date has bearing on whether they were sexually assaulted or not?
