Maybe your cat was trying to tell you something about your smelly laundry taking over the joint. :-P

My last roommate had a cat who would eat anything, ANYTHING with adhesive on it. She'd run off with the envelopes after we'd open the mail and gnaw off the part with the glue, she'd eat tape, stickers, you name it.

The best was when she's tear through the apartment with a pantyliner wrapper hanging from her mouth while we had company. And if we took it away from her, she'd sit there and cry.

She would also hide coins under the living room rug. She'd find them all over the apartment (dig them out from the couch cushions, knock loose change off of the dressers, etc.) and collect it all under the rug. We were convinced she was saving for a vacation. Or to buy her own box of pantyliners.

Then there was the time she got into the ribbon box and helped herself to a dinner of silver ribbons. The next day, she had a long silver ribbon hanging from her butt.

She also played fetch. She was a very weird cat.

Sherri wins.

It was Itsy for sure. She wants more flickr time and will be taking your undies hostage until she gets her way.

the last part - waiting for them to burst into flame = hysterical...

my aunt has a cat who used to let her know when she (the kitty) was pissed at her mommie, while mommie was working at extra job on nights.... Lucy (the kitty) would go to the laundry room, pick out only a clothing article of my aunt's [out of 5 other persons' dirty laundry also found in the room, unsorted], and Lucy would drag that piece of laundry (usually a shirt - nothing small like a sock or underwear, not ever) up 4 flights of stairs, down a hall and into the room where her litter box sat and she would then proceed to pee on whatever she'd taken from the laundry room. She did this countless times, taking only my aunt's clothes to her litter box. Don't anyone try to tell me cats are stupid - I think they fake it all the time that they're dense, to get out of doing stupid dog tricks for treats...granted, their are some cats too desperate for manipulative ploys against their owners.

oh, just read Sherri's comment... my Owen plays catch too and eats things with elastic. He loves to play fetch with hairbands - he won't eat those anymore.

Oh man. Wednesday used to bury jewelry in there, and once she buried a kitchen towel, another time a the chamois I use (USED to use) to dry my car.

The worst was when she buried our laundry room key for the apartment complex. We paid $10 for a new one before we located the old one.

Yeah, you totally win.

Cats are an interesting breed, no?

I feel very blessed that my cat's weirdest thing (so far) is loving to eat green olives.

Meg loves... ear wax. We first noticed how very much she loves cleaning out Peg (our other cat)'s ears. Then we noticed that our stethescope ear pieces had chew marks on them. Then T's ear plugs (for sleeping days for night shift) were gone. I have been woken up at night by a wet tongue in the ear. Scratching your ear with a pencil? (bad habit, I know) Meggsie will make a beeline for it. She has dug waxy q-tips out of the bin to chew on and leaves them out for visitors to admire. Ewwww. She also eats pretty much anything we eat: tomatoes, carrots, potatoes (she loves mashed potatoes), bread, soy milk, tofu... .

yes. you totally win.

yeeccch.

and also...i wonder WHY? ;)

yes - your cats are crazy!

Maybe the cats were actually wearing your underwear? I think Itsy would look stunning in a black bikini.

Gotta LOOooove cats...weird, weird critters they are. Stan loves to drink out of the toilet, ride around in a trash bag, lick noses and play dead. No seriously, he plays dead on command. And yes, he is a cat...though I think he may very well have been a dog in a past life!
