– eDgAR-
9. A Lot of Plastic Bags
“My big boi Ted would have a plastic bag full of plastic bags because he fucking loves sitting on plastic bags for some reason. His other pocket would be full of cat toys because he likes to move them all into his plastic throne like a dragon hoarding gold.
My little queen Agatha would put a little toy snake she loves and then probably try and keep milk in her other pocket somehow. Either that or weapons she can use to defeat Ted.”

7. Names and Addresses
“My cat passed away some 24 years ago. He kinda looked like Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
If he had had pockets, there would have been a list there with the names and addresses of every old lady in the town we lived in. Whenever we tried to feed him dry cat food, he would get offended and go and visit some dear old lady that would take pity on him and cook fish for him. He did this on numerous occasions until we finally caved.”

My cats are obsessed with those little bastards flying around, but when they catch one, they don’t know what to do with it.

So stick in their pocket.”
– randomlycandy
4. What Up With Bottle Caps?
“I have two cats. This is Oliver.
Random bottle caps. He then takes them out at 2am and scrapes them across the floor slowly.
2am is Oliver party time at my house.
Last night I got woken up by chopsticks and I have no clue where he got them from.
My other cat Fluff would have boxes from Amazon in his pockets.”

– maluminse
2. Something to Play Fetch With
“She would have something to play fetch with, just in case the opportunity arises. I’ve had another cat that could play fetch, but only if I started it.
This sweet, obnoxious kitty will wake me up at night with her ball. I hid all of her toys at night for a few days before she started figuring out she could bring any fucking thing to play with. Earmuffs, a small kid toy, pencil, all the hairbands, etc.”
– worlds-okayest-mum
