My cat Winston has a thing for socks too! He is quite small, and the socks are almost bigger than he is! When he drags them around, he has to go backwards, otherwise he steps on the end of the sock and stops himself from moving.

I feel quite proud that he protects me from these evil dirty socks, which are obviously plotting to -um, er- do something dastardly! Winston - my protector and hero - What a cat!
