I think Sir Pasquatch the 3rd is transferring the odours so they are on his body.
Loves you all so much, wants your presence about all the time. 🙂

No, he loves shoes! Those are love bites! One of my cats administers lots of love bites to my hands and arms.

He clearly loves you and your family. Anything that smells like you, he will be drawn to. Shoes are a favorite of cats and dogs.

He seems like a very friendly cat, despite his habitual travel interference. He enjoys being around people.🤗

Hate them, or love them?

Looks like he (or she) is possessing them and claiming them as their own...

Do they have enough car scratching posts? And toys and exercise? As the cat seems to be using it at its post or toy, and getting it's exercise on the shoes and claiming them

My black cat does the same

The shoe material is a stark reminder of your feet, particularly the flesh. I kid, of course. What?

Well, you ask!!

Not hatred, he loves the person the shoes belong to. 😻

Looks like he loves you enough not to let you go anywhere.

🤔🤔🤔 Hmmm....Perhaps it's time for odor-eaters...that cat just ADORES the smell of YOUR feet!!! 🤣🤣🤣
