Hi Chris, I was reading the news on the BBC Internet Newsreader this morning and came across the article about the cat in Leicester that swipes the socks, the owners name was Louise Brandon, so this story might crop up on the BBC news on the telly today as a funny story. My cat Del who is a Ragdoll breed, has dark boots but no socks, not yet anyway, he he!! TTFN Sally, Eastbourne.

The neighbours have all been asked if they have lost any socks from their lines or washing baskets, but none have lost any, now the said newspaper is posting pictures of all the socks on it's web site to try and solve the mystery, I will keep you posted, Chris Simpson Leicester, skype name chriscringle2
