Are cats and dogs attracted to certain kinds of fabric because of how it feels on their paw pads?

I'm not sure about dogs, but cats will automatically go for soft fabrics because it feels like their mother, especially if they were weaned too early. I have 4 cats and they all do the same thing to every fuzzy/fluffy blanket we have. So no, your cat's not strange.

Cats are attracting to fabrics that are tough, so they can need into it and feel like they are accomplishing something. Dogs seem to like wool for whatever reason. Your cat may just like the feeling of the snuggie like we all do!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
