“If cats had pockets what would you find in your cats’ pockets?” was the question posed by one Reddit user. And, of course, the internet delivered. Cats are funny little animals, so, as you can imagine, the answers are pretty hilarious.
Here are 60 things that cats would definitely keep in their pockets if they had them.
What would your little kitty keep in their pockets if they had them? Here are the top answers from Reddit.
1) Never not hungry
“Food for now, food for later, and food for even later. My cat’s a pig who will knock things over and break them to get to food,” said DontMindMe673. It sounds like a snack pocket would be good for this hungry cat.
2) Hair tie hoarders
“All of my hair ties (hides them all or gathers them in one spot)” said cmaria01. A cat pocket would be the ideal place to hide a bunch of hair ties!
3) Cats love bottle caps
“The cap to my water bottle (hides it constantly),” shared cmaria01. There’s something about bottle caps that drives cats crazy!
4) The obvious
“Their paws of course,” posted Reddit user dick-nipples. Of course, they’ll need to keep those little beans warm!
5) Could you imagine how adorable?
Speaking of kitten paws warm, “tiny mittens because I put them there,” is what eskimoexplosion suggested. We want to see a kitten in mittens!
6) They’re so fun to play with!
“A f*%#ing Q-tip,” said Xisyn. Yes, cats do love to play with things that are easy to toss around and fluffy. Q-tips are definitely one of those things.
7) The perfect combination
“Catnip and strings,” shared aldebera and we’d definitely have to agree. If cats could carry just those two things around, they’d be happier than ever.
8) Anything that resembles a string…
“My third cat, Paula, would have cords,” posted PinkShrimpz. Cats love anything that looks like a snake, so a cord would definitely be possible.
9) This took a dark turn
“A shiv, but I’d never see it coming,” said triplab. We know cats can be rude but…wow. Murder? We hope not!
10) That’s where all the missing socks go
“half a dozen hair ties, and one of my socks,” said 1Cinnamonster. We already have the hair ties on the list but we certainly can’t forget about cats and their love of socks.
11) We knew this was coming…
“Dead rats or birds,” said poopellar. Our cats are hunters! It’s in their nature. So, they might want to carry around their trophy in their pockets.
12) Cats play fetch too!
“My cat carries around toys for fetch,” posted anaesthetic. If you have the type of cat that likes to play fetch, they’d always be ready if they could carry toys in their pockets.
13) House raccoon
“Pieces of garbage he found in the house,” shared Liu1999 on Reddit. Cats are strange little creatures, that’s for sure.
14) Just a little snack for later
“A little salami,” posted Hidden_Chin. Because, let’s face it, who doesn’t want salami every now and again? Might as well keep some in your cat pockets.
15) Seems about right
“Milk rings and grudges mostly,” said josephus_jones about their cat. We think this answer is spot on. Pockets full of milk rings is a definite. Grudges, oh yes.
16) Yikes!
“Another cat’s ear,” posted Reddit user MommaBearJam. We know cats get into fights but to keep a body part as a souvenir? Savage.
17) They’re so sparkly and fun!
“Those silver fuzzy toy balls. But only the silver ones,” said apparentthrowaway79. There’s something about those fluffy metallic balls that cats go nuts over.
18) They’d become addicts
“Twice the legal carry limit for catnip,” posted apparentthrowaway79. If cats could keep catnip in their pockets, it would be mayhem out there.
19) Very specific
“His own smartphone. And a go-pro. With 65 hours of video of me sleeping while evil cat laughter can be faintly heard in the background,” Kalepsis said on Reddit.
20) Fun-killer
“A checklist of safety procedures for the house. We call our cat our little OSHA inspector. He patrols the house and when things are out of place or messy he meows at us to fix it,’ shared shaidyn. What a stickler of a cat!
21) More hair accessories
“A handful of bobby-pins,” posted dustbunnee on Reddit. What is with cats and stealing hair accessories? Their pockets would be full of them.
22) Little thieves
The previous Reddit user also added, “that earring I “lost” and detailed plans to take over the world…” which makes complete sense to us.
23) Something to chew on for later
“Scraps of plastic partially eaten,” posted Reddit user Imaginary_Parsley. Their cat is a weird one, but who’s isn’t?
24) They have expensive taste
“Knowing my cats I’d find my wallet,” said Billywalts45 on the thread. Cats are pretty low maintenance but if they had it their way – they’d spoil themselves.
25) It could be anything
“Things I lost months ago,” said RealECW. Cats have a magical ability of making things disappear – and it would definitely be hiding in their pockets if they had them.
26) Little killers
“Lizards. Whole, dried, or pieces of,” said nyequistt. Just another little critter that they love to to hunt. They’ll save pieces for later.
27) They aren’t always picky
“The same things that he now hides under my wife’s chair. (any small thing he can knock off of an end table.)” said Wrong_Answer_Willie. So, basically his cat could have just about anything in their pockets.

28) There’s a musician in the family
“All my guitar picks,” said _PointBreak_. So, either their cat loves playing guitar or their just a sneaky thief.
29) They’re always plotting
“A map of my house marked with the best hiding spots so the little [guy] can jump out and scare the [heck] out of me,” said Duck-Yo-Couch. That sounds like something a cat would plot.
30) They’ll hold onto those for you
“All of my lost chapsticks that he likes to play with and chew on because I have no pockets to keep them in,” said stayawayfrommycan. See? Cats will steal anything and put it in those little pockets!
31) Ready for play at all times
“Moose would probably have a laser toy,” said StencilChild. It sounds like Moose would be ready for action at any given moment.
32) Alright, then
“All cats with pockets would have listening devices because they are part of the CIA’s revival of their failed Project Acoustic Kitty from the 1960s that was meant to be used to spy on the Soviets,” said -eDgAR-. Wow, this is a little too real.
33) Anything they can climb into
“My big boi Ted would have a plastic bag full of plastic bags because he fucking loves sitting on plastic bags for some reason,” posted DrCytokinesis. They can pull one out and climb in it whenever they want!

34) If they could, they would
“My little queen Agatha would put a little toy snake she loves and then probably try and keep milk in her other pocket somehow,” shared DrCytokinesis. Maybe a plastic-lined pocket?
35) Comfort on demand
“An entire blanket if he could get it to fit somehow lol,” shared CoastalResident on Reddit. Because we all know cats love to nap whenever possible.
36) This gangster cat
“A megaphone, some brass knuckles, and probably a locket with my picture in it (I love my goddamn son and he loves me right back. cats have emotion),” said k11759. This cat sounds intense.
37) So many cat thieves in the world
“All the cap erasers she’s stolen from me over the years,” posted password-is-taco_. It doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s small, cats will steal it, and keep it in their pockets.
38) A hit list?
“Just a list of names,” said AndrewLBailey. We have so many questions but we’re afraid to ask them because your cat might find us.
39) A little flirt
“If he had had pockets, there would have been a list there with the names and addresses of every old lady in the town we lived in,” said jonhnefill. Now that’s a list of names that we can get behind. So cute.
40) It’s the logical choice
“Probably a stink bug. My cats are obsessed with those little bastards flying around, but when they catch one, they don’t know what to do with it. Can’t bite it. Can’t really paw at it or bat it around to play with it. So stick in their pocket,” shared randomlycandy.
41) Any kind of food will do
“My dog’s kibble,” posted tawandaaaa on Reddit. Does your cat steal your dog’s food? Check their pockets!
42) Oh we hope not
“That pile of vomit I heard him hack up but could never find,” joked witchygemini. We hope the cat wouldn’t do that…would they?
43) You know…since they knock things over
“Algorithms regarding gravitational pull on objects near edges of shelves and counters, width, length of average temperature of laptop keyboards and quantum studies on the speed of light and methods to entrap it,” said maluminse and we think this explains a lot.
44) Hmm…
“Cat hair,” said Gadetron. Maybe they would collect their own hairballs when they cough them up? Who knows.
45) For health reasons
“Bottle caps, feathers and random pieces of broccoli he is saving to eat under my bed later,” posted TingWallaBingBang. Sounds like their cat is a bit of a health nut. And also a weirdo just like every cat.
46) A cat’s favorite things
“A few pieces of balled-up toilet paper, a bottle cap, a catnip mouse with a bell, and a few pieces of kibble,” shared gr8bacon. Oh, yes, toilet paper would definitely be found in a kitty pocket.
47) Caps of all kinds
“Definitely some treats, cap from the hair spray bottle, hair elastics, pet squirrel,” said TheRockinkitty. Milk caps, bottle caps, hairspray caps, it doesn’t matter what kind. They love them!
48) One sophisticated kitty
“An elegant pipe and some good tobacco. Perhaps an antique pocket watch. Well, that would be my cat anyway. He’d probably have a good book tucked under a front leg too, so he could open it up and lay on it for a long nap,” said barbiecorie.
49) Cat hoarder
“My cat would have 3 Canadian pennies, a red craft pompom, a partially chewed ziploc baggie, and the last bite of a now-ossified chicken nugget she stole from my daughter months ago,” said basketofselkies. Those would have to be some pretty big pockets on a cat.
50) Poor lady bugs
“Dead. ladybugs. why aladdin why?” said jamesfullbr on the Reddit thread. What did ladybugs ever do you to you?! Oh yeah, nothing. You’re just a cat.
51) Sticking to the necessities
“Rings, a laser pointer, her fuzzy pink ball and key chains,” shared Chicagogogo. This cat sounds like they know what they like and they always would have it on hand.
52) That’s because they love you!
“My stuff. For sure he’d hide my keys, wallet, anything to prevent me from leaving,” said Daredizzle on Reddit. It sounds like your cat would use their pockets for cuteness.
53) Because they’re so soft and chewy
“All my earbud covers that she keeps stealing,” shared Lockshala on the Reddit thread. If you’ve lost your earbud covers, you should definitely check your cat’s pockets.
54) Sneaking away to kitty aerobics classes
“I found my old cats stash once. Scrunchies, hair ties, ankle socks and the 5 headphones we “lost”. I think the cat was secretly going to aerobics classes,” said omegaweapon.
55) All the plastic
“Straws, pens, and various similar long plastic things,” said suxferyu. Like this particular cat below who apparently loves straws very, very much.
56) So many potentially violent cats out there
“Knives,” said kzrovi and we’re beginning to worry since this was not the first response we’ve had like this. Watch out for the gang of evil kitties with pockets!
57) Carry their friend around
“Birds, live birds. She doesn’t even hurt them… Just brings them in the house and sets them free,” shared MysteriousDixieDrive. That’s sweet that they’d carry their little feathered friend around.
58) Cats are strange creatures
“All the spoons. We find them in random spots in the house. Why, not a clue,” said katkatkat2. We really can’t explain cats’ bizarre behavior, but we love them for it.
59) We’re glad cats don’t have pockets
Because if this is going to happen, things could get scary…”My other cat’s whiskers. Serial killer style,” said kittyxing.
60) Messy kitties
“Cat litter. He already fills his paw-pockets with it and scatters it around the house,” posted suspicious_niffler. It’s like when you leave the beach and find sand everywhere – except with kitty litter.
Now that all of these cat owners have weighed in, it’s clear that if cats did have pockets – you could find possibly anything in there! What would you find in your cat’s pockets if they had them?
