WHY IS MY CAT OBSESSED WITH MY BRAS?

If you have a cat, it may have happened that as soon as you took out your bra, he sneaked right behind you and took possession of your bra; maybe he ran away with it, or just jumped on it and bit it, or pock it, in other words, your cat has a complete obsession with bras.

Let’s talk about bras for a second. Why are bras so attractive to cats? If you look at bras, you can see they are a perfect versatile object that your cat can use for multiple functions.

First, the bra straps are a perfect toy for a cat to bit on, carry around and play with. And what about the padded bras? Aren’t they perfect for a kitten to sleep in? Soft but not too much, rounded so he can curly on it and take a nice nap.

And what about the smell? Were you just wearing it? Perfect! Now he gets a toy and a sleeping bag with your scent on it. What else could he want? All those things should give a pretty good answer as to why my cat is obsessed with my bras.

WHY DOES MY CAT SLEEP IN MY BRA?

Why is my cat obsessed with my bras, and why would my cat like to sleep on bras? Unfortunately, those are questions for which we will never have an absolute logical answer when it comes to cats. The bra cups are perfect for cat heads and for kittens that can curl up in them.

Sleeping on a bra is, of course, everyday activity for a cat. So let’s think about it for a moment; Bras are comfy, especially the padded ones, but most importantly, they carry your scent. Especially bras that you just took off.

Cats used to sleep in a place you just slept on or were sitting on because they feel more secure if they sleep in an area that carries your scent. Cats like their humans; some may very well think you are the mother cat, especially if you have had them since they were tiny.

You may have seen cats rolling and rubbing against your bra, they recognize there is your smell on it, and of course, they need to mark it, meaning leave their scent on it too, so they know you ( in this case, your bra too) belong to them. So, after understanding him better, it is not difficult to see why my cat is obsessed with my bras.

WHY DOES MY CAT ATTACK MY BRA?

Your cat attacks your bra because it is like a cat toy. Cats can play with anything, but one of their best toys is one with strings to chew on and bite so they can still the entire object and carry it around.

It is similar to the cat’s obsession with bags, plastic, papers, mobile phone cables, plants, and everything else. Your bra is very interesting for cats, and of course, they should investigate the situation and attack it.

IS IT NORMAL FOR MY CAT TO SMELL MY DIRTY UNDERWEAR?

Animals tend to like the smell of their owners, so they sometimes want to go into their owner’s dirty clothes and roll around in them. For example, my cat used to jump into the laundry basket and sleep in it.

Underwear is one of the items of clothing where a person’s unique scent is most pungent. Cats also like to mark their owners with their own scent. This is why cats like to rub up against furniture and their owners because they claim them with their own scent.

Sometimes cats will roll around in dirty or freshly washed clothes because if you wear these clothes that smell like them, then every other cat knows you belong to them. With cats, it is never clear who belongs to who. Do you belong to your cat, or is your cat actually belong to you?
