Since a flea epidemic in '95, I stopped wearing slippers (was trailing flea eggs round house in the soft material) and starting wearing old shoes round the house. Polly sleeps on them! Heaven!
Even my outdoorsy shoes get inspected when I come home - all sorts of new and interesting smells.
Perhaps it's not our smelly feet, but the smells we pick up?
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

One of our family cats, Pumpkin used to *love* the smell of the boots I wore when I worked at a riding stables.  They stank of horse wee but she used to rub herself all over them  :sick:

My cats go absolutly mad  too when I come in from seeing to the horses its like they fall in love again every night with my boots and clothes, especially the kittens

weird animals we all have

I keep a pair of shoes in a corner of the bedroom and when I got Mosi he was obsessed with them.  Every night he'd come into the bedroom and spend ages attacking them, sticking his head in them and generally indulging his obsession wtih them!  Don't know if it's the leather that attracts him or my smelly feet!  I have noticed that Jaffa in particular seems to have a bit of a "thing" with my feet and spends an unhealthy amount of time sniffing them!

Lexy hates all shoes. Not sure why but when she sees them, especially if they are in her way she wallops them silly. Then she sees they won't attack her and she feels safe enough to ignore them..until they're in her way again... :rofl:

Just wondered if your furry fellas like the wiff of your shoes, slippers etc

Freddie has got a thing about my slippers, shoes and now my boots.  Not OH's, just mine.

I'm beginning to wonder if OH is just being kind not mentioning I have a problem  :-[
