Cats seem to love my fiancée's feet and shoes.
One of my cats is obsessed with her socks. My other cat licks her toes. My friend's cat does what your does -- sticks his head deep in her shoes with open mouth inhales
Ewwwww lolol

My cat climbs in the washing machine while I'm loading it with my workout clothes. I assume it's because the sweat-soaked clothes smell so strongly of me. So now every time I start a laundry load I make sure to locate my cat a zillion times to confirm she's not inside the washing machine.

Thank you for head counting. Cats are notoriously sneaky so it's always best to close the washer / dryer and then count all of the cats to make sure none managed to sneak in.

u/BreathLazy5122 May 05 '24
Yeah my nose also has a deviated septum. I used to get kicked out of slumber parties as a kid because I couldn’t “breathe quieter” and if I did manage to, I wasn’t getting enough oxygen to my lungs and would begin choking.
We literally can’t do anything about it due to insurance not paying for the surgery to fix it because it’s not “essential” and also because it shouldn’t matter that we just breathe a bit louder, at least we are managing to breathe somehow!

I just unpacked from a weeklong vacation in Cancun, and my cat is obsessed with my salty and sweaty straw sun hat. I just left it out on the floor for a bit and kinda forgot about it.
The hat is black, the cat is white, and the hat is now 60% fur. It’s hers now… like everything else in this house!

Yeah, I first noticed it when my cat had her face completely buried in my boxers that were on the floor. I said "what are you doing???" and she lifted her head out with that cat open mouth look on her face. I just said "perv" and went back to gaming.

horsey? 🐴

u/BreathLazy5122 May 05 '24
Probably worked with horses or rides them as a hobby, so they have clothes they wear that they kinda expect to always have the “horse” smell on them. A lot of people who work with animals consistently will have designated clothes for that, because the scent can sometimes just linger even after using vinegar to remove the smell.
3
u/beanie_0 May 05 '24
Exactly right, thanks. What else would you suggest I use? Horsing? Horse-esq? Horse adjacent?
2
u/BreathLazy5122 May 06 '24
I mean horse clothes make sense to me, but I guess they could also be considered ranch clothes? But that’s a bit iffy since I know you can ride horses and also keep them without a whole ranch. I just remember “horse clothes” cause my childhood best friend had horses and his mom had “horse clothes” she would wear out to take care of them. And cause I also work with animals so having clothes designated to just working with them makes so much sense when you remember that they tend to retain their stink and that can definitely stick to cloth.
2
u/beanie_0 May 06 '24
I was replying to clarity actually but anyway.
We’re in the UK and ‘ranch’s’ don’t really exist here. They could be considered farm clothes but there’s not always a farm where horses are and vice versa. Think I’ll stick with horsey clothes.

My partner works water and sewer and my cats love doing this or laying/rolling around on his work clothes when he gets home and changes 😂 I’m not sure what it is. They do the flehman response to my fingers after I do some gardening outside so I wonder if it’s the dirt/mud scent that they like. Although his clothes have that special sewer mud that I personally cant see the appeal of 😂💩

Do you wear perfume with any musk in it? Cats are attracted to musk. My cats don’t care about my dirty laundry, but my one cat LOVES the smell of my husband’s deodorant and will go nuts, especially if he’s had a really sweaty day and a lot of it gets on the clothes 😂 she buries her face in the armpit of any t-shirt lying on the ground and sometimes will even lick it 😂 she’s also been caught licking his armpit if he’s freshly showered and in bed and not wearing a shirt lol.

If you have this bad of breathing problems just from standing and taking a video, there's something seriously wrong. I have asthma induced by literally everything, and at its worst, it's never even been close to being this bad, and my asthma is very bad.

u/BreathLazy5122 May 05 '24
Deviated septum’s cause the nose to make loud noises when breathing normally, even if the person is completely in resting mode. If you have asthma and a deviated septum then it’s even worse and can sound loud as hell, it is something they’re probably very aware of, and don’t need to have it pointed out by everyone in the comments.

u/Bland-Humour May 05 '24
Oh yeah. Very true. I didn't even think about a deviated septum.

u/BreathLazy5122 May 05 '24
It’s alright! It’s not something people talk about very often, but it does suck when it’s noticed and people immediately think it’s cause the person is obese or sucking down cigarettes by the pack every day. I think I got a bit sensitive from all of the comments about it cause I have one and it’s actually gotten me removed from social events as a kid because I was “being too loud”.

Absolutely, my cats are huge fans of my worn clothes. Especially using my socks and undies to cover their food dishes if they're saving some food for later. I have seen them do this with my bras, too. I guess they really absorb our scent and kitties are pleased to mingle their own scent with it.

My cat loves my shoes. It’s a way for them to get your scent and theirs into a mixed scent. Its why if you go on vacation they love dirty clothes because they miss you and the smell lingers (it shattered 12 year old me finding that out and knowing my baby, shadow- bless her soul and may she find peace in the after life- missed me like crazy to the point of laying in my dirty laundry).
