I knew an ornithologist that would stuff the birds into old socks because it kept them calm.

Yes. They were washed….

Maybe kitty is helping with banding?

My oldest cat will bring up socks, underwear, and even tank tops from the laundry area downstairs. She lets out such mournful cries while she's doing it. Most mornings we have to collect her harvest and take everything back downstairs, restarting the process.

My childhood cat, Gimpy, used to steal rolled up socks. He'd carry them around, chirp at them, and give them drinks of water (by dipping them in the toilet).

Things are so bad even our emotional support animals need their emotional support socks.
