@elsiewants: I am so torn. On the one hand, it's completely reasonable that silk would have a protein in it that she would identify as being similar to the proteins that she ingests when she eats moths. On the other hand, I am so wary of over-interpreting button presses. I think it's likely that TOGETHER was an accidental press, but she did put her paw on it before she started washing so it could go either way. As far as cold... That's a newer word and we are still calibrating on making sure that we have the same understanding of it. For instance, the other day a storm rolled in and she said COLD LOUD. And in this video I had gotten rained on during my outing. So it's possible that she thinks cold has something to do with rain. But I genuinely don't know. After I changed she stopped talking about fabric. Regardless of anything else, it was very clear that she did not like that shirt. I really like it so I'm going to wash it and then... I don't know maybe roll it in catnip? PS the pattern is on Ravelery. It's the Mint Leaf Top by Elena Fedotova #talkingcat #fluentpet #catbuttons #cutecalico #felineaic

I kinda find it cute that she pressed sorry so much, like "mom, I'm so sorry to inform you, but you need to get out of the bug fabric, it's so literbox, please change"

Basically being told your new top, one you made yourself, sucks. By your cat. That is just top tier feline shade right there.

Silk stinks. It has a STRONG and specific scent. We can only really smell it when we get it wet and hot, but let me tell you, as someone who regularly dyes and washes silk at scalding hot temperatures, it reminds you that it’s bugs. It’s a very specific parmesan/urine/freezerburn combo. No doubt in my mind that cats can identify it at room temperature.

Does your cat see silk material as a bug’s litter box? Because silk is technically a bugs secretion 😅😳

She can smell the bug scent it’s made from . If animals can smell cancer they can surely smell fabric

Silk often has a funny smell. Maybe she thinks it stinks like a litter box.

She said “that fabric smells like a litter box big time!” 😂 Silk is stinky, maybe cats are extra sensitive to it

Maybe the rain intensified the bug/moth smell of the silk blend fabric
