Cats like their owners’ socks because your cat likes to smell smelly shoes and other objects that are stained with your scent. It is probably thinking about you. This is a way of expressing that they miss you. Isn’t it touching? Very special, hehe.

The familiar smell can bring a sense of security to the cat owner and make it more comfortable. For example, smelling socks may be due to weaning at an early age, which makes it feel insecure. The softness of the socks reminds it of the soft and hairy texture of the mother cat's belly when she was breastfeeding, making her even more attached and comfortable. Not just socks, anything with this kind of touch will be specially loved by cat owners. .
