My husband and I have one kitty who is rather odd. She likes to "hunt" laundry items for us! She'll go off in search of small things (socks, underwear, etc.) and pretty soon we'll hear her calling to us in a very specific, loud voice. She'll keep shouting until we call back to her, then she'll come bounding downstairs with her "prize" in her mouth, calling all the way. We got her as a stray from a shelter, and she was already an adult when we got her, so no idea where she learned this behavior. She's done it ever since we brought her home. She usually tries to find small things, but sometimes she'll surprise us with something large, like a pair of pj pants or a shirt. That is always the funniest, seeing her waddling down the stairs dragging a whole pair of pants behind her! I had never heard of a cat doing this before we got her, but since then I've done some research and it seems like this is something some kitties just DO for whatever reason, though no one seems to know why. She seems to do it when she feels like she isn't getting enough attention, though why it is this specific behavior, I have no idea. Cats are strange, haha!
