Why does this cat snatch garden gloves?


Willy, a 1-year-old cat is photographed Thursday,
July 20, 2006, with a display of several pairs of
garden gloves that he took from unknown yards in
his neighborhood in Pelham, N.Y. Willy has brought
home nine pairs of gloves and five singles over
several weeks laying them on his owners' front or
back porches. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)

2. At least, the gloves could be useful.
Dead mice, OTOH, aren't so useful.

5. Purrrhaps he is looking for some with enough fingers?
Looks like he might have extra toe issues... I count five visibel on the front of his foot, add the dew claw high and inside and that's a lotta toes

10. Yeah..Thumbs, he wants thumbs
Then he could forget the middleman (bipeds with canopening thumbs) and eat that slimy, smelly meat-ish stuff whenever he wants to?

13. LOL Oh, is THAT what's in those little tins?
Always wondered.

When cats figure out can openers, WE are obsolete!

6.  Certain Cats like to nibble on certain fabrics.
I think this one decided it likes the fabrics of garden gloves with a soil and human hand smell.

But seriously, to him, they're like mice; and he's bringing home his trophies.

8. Why does our cat attack my daughter's butt
every time she lies on her side? Why do cats do any of the things they do? Because they can!
