Our Meep also has a definite preference for socks, the only thing he steals other than garlic. I know what you mean about them picking socks out of the laundry! He has also decided that my husband's socks do NOT belong in the sock drawer. Meep is sure they belong in the sweater drawer! He will work himself up from the bottom of the dresser, pushing out various drawers as he goes. When he gets all the drawers adjusted just right he will then go to the sock drawer, grab a pair of socks and transfer them to the sweater drawer. He will continue to repeat this until every pair of socks has been moved or he gets caught, whichever comes first. I also agree - he always goes for men's socks - especially the dark ones. Go figure. He NEVER touches mine or makes off with them. Daisy (our little albino) has a thing for "silky" lingerie, but she never touches a sock. Karla [Posted in FML issue 2894]
