Ever wondered where that one sock from each pair goes? Well if you live in the Loughborough area in the United Kingdom, we may have an answer for you.
The owners of Henry, a sock-loving cat, have been forced to mount a major leaflet campaign in their neighborhood to notify the community that their foot fetishist feline has been stealing socks. So far, he has brought home a total of fifty seven, and nothing is dissuading him from adding to his collection.
The family printed hundreds of leaflets to let their neighbors know that if they have a noticeable decrease in their home’s total sock numbers, they should present themselves to the Brandon’s home to claim the missing items.
The Brandons are baffled as to where Henry is finding these socks, and according to Louise Brandon, the thought of him stealing from people’s washing lines is “embarrassing enough” but the idea that Henry is sneaking into people’s homes to take socks straight out of their drawer – now that would put this cat burglar into a different class of criminal.
Henry has been spotted loitering on the walls of neighbors gardens each evening, prompting the Brandons to impose a night-time curfew on him.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t worked. Eloise Brandon, the nine-year old daughter of the Brandon family, has reported that Henry is still managing to steal at least one sock each day. And these are only the thefts that have been discovered.
Residents of Loughborough are encouraged to contact the Brandons to identify and claim their missing footwear, although no responsibility has been taken by Henry for any missing Loughborough pens or lighters. The disappearance of these items are a separate mystery.
Henry was not available for comment.
