This is a pair of slipper-socks I got for Christmas a few years ago. They are very warm and very soft and quite lovely, which is why, I suppose, the cats have adopted them as the Bestest Toy Ever. I have a bag of socks I don't wear often, and this particular pair has been fished out countless times, no matter how deep I bury them. I have other slipper socks made of similar material that don't get *touched*. Just these. There are now a few more holes in them than are altogether necessary, so I guess they're just a cat toy now.
And to prove how beloved this pair of socks is, Monet snuck her nose in the picture just as I was taking it. She couldn't leave the socks alone for two seconds! It's okay, Monet, they're officially yours now.
