Siberian Cat's Weird Emotional Support Item Will Crack You Up

You never know what a cat might pick to soothe, comfort, or entertain them. At any given time, it could be a random Q-tip they found on the bathroom floor, or something as wild as an actual cat toy. Their moods determine their wares, and honestly, good for them.

In Hubert the Siberian cat's case, it's something you might not expect, and he wants to show it to the world!

Personally, I think Hubert is onto something! Anyone who's ever owned a bathrobe and dropped or misplaced the rope tie a dozen times understands that once a cat spots it, it's theirs-I don't make the rules!

Anyway, I think this smart Siberian is just ahead of the curve when it comes to kitty fashion, so we should all be thanking him for this glorious display!

Though Hubert is pretty famous for his nightly "dancy-dance" on the table, the whole emotional support robe tie really struck a chord among his swath of fans. People are obsessed with the way he's so careful to carry the tie so he doesn't step on it as he walks!

With so many impressed by "Hubie" and his odd comfort item, a follow-up shows how much he loves the thing (and no, we can't have it, so don't ask!).

Why Cats Choose Random Comfort Items

Anyone who's ever had a cat might recognize that some of their choices can't be explained. As it turns out, Hubert's robe tie satisfies a deep instinctual desire that began way back with his wild ancestors. Whether they're interested in a box, a bag, a hair tie, or something even weirder, kitties like these things as if they've hunted for them and they want to show them off.

If you've ever caught your feline with a dirty piece of laundry, it's because they want to rub their scent on it to say it's safe, familiar, and theirs! My cats have been known to drag around a dirty sock, so I get it! I'm guessing that's what Hubert is doing with his robe tie, so Mom knows it's hands off or she'll have to pay the treat tax!
