Does your cat like to lie on wet towels?

My cat is almost three. Ever since she was little she LOVES to lie on the damp wet towel we just used to dry off with as we get out of the shower. She especially loves my husband's towel. (she likes him more so I understand). She used to try and claw and drag it off us while we were still using it just to get to it faster. We cannot put it down fast enough! As soon as we get it on the floor, she lays there and licks herself and sleeps.

Does anyone else have a cat who likes wet towels?

Update:

By the way...she has many cat beds we bought for her...all kinds. We don't mind this, we just wondered!

Update 2:

Mary, that is sooo funny! My cat does LOVE cardboard boxes as well! We keep them for her and she sleeps in them. LOL

THANKS!!

    Yes, my cat does, especially my towel.

    Your cat probably likes the scent of you and your husband on the towel. Also some breeds of cat actually like water & moisture. It could also be, if it's very warm where you live that she is just trying to cool off. :)

    As far as the cat beds go--you can probably relate to the cartoon in the lower right hand corner here:

    No cat is ever too youthful for dominance topics. Cats often mark their territories and this may well be what he's doing. If there is an smell on something, he pees on it so it smells extra like him, and as he gets older the smell will replace into extra advantageous and extra advantageous until eventually you will no longer have the means to stand it. many times this habit stops whilst the cat is fastened, so i'd look into that good away. the subsequent ingredient i'd do is make confident each and everything is picked up. that's no longer too no longer ordinary in case you think of approximately it. in case you won't be in a position to %. it up, a minimum of close the door. next, the litterbox. You did no longer say what form of muddle you employ, so i flow to anticipate you employ the generally occurring old clay muddle. that needs to have the solids got rid of daily and the muddle replaced weekly. The litterbox itself additionally should be washed a minimum of as quickly as each and every 2 weeks. There should additionally be as many litterboxes as there are cats. each and every in some circumstances a cat takes offense approximately having to apply yet another cat's litterbox, so is going someplace else. A dominance pastime returned. You never be responsive to what's occurring interior that little kitty recommendations, yet this would nicely be a probability.

    Not wet towels, no, but both my cats have a weird habit of sitting on anything they find on the floor. So if I drop a letter on the floor, I'll turn around and one or the other of them will just be sitting/laying on it. Or a plastic bag. Anything really. :P

    No, but this is just very cute cat behavior! You should be happy that your cat is fond of you and your husband. Maybe your cat wants a bed to lay on, try buying her a cushion or something to sleep on. Good luck!
