Oh my, My female cat has just recentley started doing this, at first it was my sisters clothing she would bring anything downstairs and keep going and leave it all around the house while howling. it was a scary cry almost. we give her so much attention she always has food and clean litter. She jsut started taking my clothes around now. its quite embarassing when its a bra or underwear and i have family over. She was once an outdoor cat until we moved. she has been an indoor cat for 5 years now and she was completley okay with it. But our neighbors recentley got two outdoor cats and she fights with them all the time through the window. they haven’t been around latley. but this is sorta hectic and crazy we don’t knwo weather shes just loosing her mind . Some people say its them hunting. many outdoor cats with bring prey to the doorstep if its a mouse of something to show you what they caught. we are thinking she is dooing this and howls for attention. we just say oooo wow good job and she stops for a while but she keeps doing it and we are jsut trying to cope with it. we obviously still love her

My cat finds treasures all over the house and carries them all upstairs into my bedroom and puts them all under the bed for me each and every night. (if only he would find a decent man to put under there for me I would be very happy lol) He carries things like mobile phones, reading glasses, keys, staplers, stuffed toys, papers, pens, cutlery, just anything he can find (its amazing the size of some of the things he carries).

The best one was he had a balloon on a string which every single night for two months he would religiously carry up the stairs and then spend at least half an hour each night trying to pull by the string the balloon under the bed (of course, it would never fit..and he would eventually give up after putting it behind the wardrobe).

No other cat I have ever owned has done this…but it’s Mr. Hamish’s quirk so we live with it. We know if anything is MIA to go look under the bed first. .

As for your cats and your clothes….Im no expert, but wonder if it is your scent they are looking for. When my husband passed the only way I could console our dog from howling all night was to put an article of my husbands clothes to the dog and he would settle instantly each time??

hahaha nah you're not alone! my 4year old male cat drags peoples clothes and my sisters toys to various parts of the house and makes this sicko growling noise then dry humps them. it's gross. he now has this scarf once belonging to my sister, now known as "lex's scarf" because he is often found curled up in it after one of his 'sessions' haha. one time he was humping a blanket in the loungeroom so i started recording it on my phone, then he saw me, made the growl noise and ran up to me and straddled my arm and tried to dryhump it he's desexed and everything so i don't know how to stop it haha. it makes him special :]
