Socks In Bed: One Cat’s Controversial Habit

On a cold winter’s evening, the transition from over the covers to under can be a traumatic one.

“If the room is chilly, it can be like climbing into a freezer – at first,” says Leonard Diamond. “You’ve got to tough it out. If you have patience, you’ll warm up nice and toasty in no time.”

But a cat named Gus doesn’t share this philosophy. He climbs under the covers every night with a pair of socks on to kill the chill. That’s not such a controversial practice, except…

“The socks come off under the covers during the night,” says Diamond. “Sometimes there are 20 pairs under there at any time. It’s a big stinky mess, and I wish he would kick this bad habit.”

“Yeah, she’s completely terrified of the vacuum,” said Alison by email. “She usually runs and hides whenever it’s on.”
