\"\"Cats certainly can become obsessed. We\u2019ve all known cats that are so fixated on something they temporarily block everything else out. We had a cat once who seemed to have a fetish for the scent in women\u2019s products\u2014lotions, shampoos, hair spray\u2026 If a woman came into our home wearing hand lotion, for example, or a particularly fragrant cologne, he was all over her. He\u2019d rub against our guest\u2019s hands or face, maybe lick \"\"her skin and roll around on her. He could be obnoxious. To him, fragrances were like catnip.<\/p>\n

Some cats have a fetish for certain objects. You\u2019ve heard of cat burglars. They really do exist. I\u2019ve written about our cat Lily\u2014how she\u2019d bring me her stuffed toys and my cozy socks just about every morning and drop them at my feet. I\u2019m pretty sure that if she were allowed out of doors, she would have been a cat burglar\"\"\u2014scouting out interesting things in neighbors\u2019 yards and bringing them home.<\/p>\n

I want to share the story of a new cat burglar on the block\u2014actually on a block in Pennsylvania. Jordan is a black-and-white cat and has a shoe fetish. His owners say this 6-pound cat used to bring home rodents, snakes, birds, and garbage until he discovered shoes. At last count he\u2019d accumulated over thirty shoes of all types\u2014from flip-flops to high-tops. Frustrated and embarrassed, his owners started a facebook page in hopes of reuniting neighbors with their shoes.<\/p>\n
