Nobody buys or adopts cats. They just show up to your house one day expecting food, you feed it, and it sticks around.

Everyone knows that.

"I can't AFFORD to keep FEEDING all these COATHANGERS! There's so MANY!! What can I DO?!? AAAAAAA!!!!"

I thought coathangers fed themselves with one half of a pair of socks? I can't think of another explanation for the odd socks i keep ending up with.

It's washing machines and dryers that find socks delicious.

... which is less of a joke than you'd think. Small items can get partially forced between the rubber seal and the drum and then when the drum rotates, the item is slurped outside like a strand of spaghetti.

Also sometimes identical-looking socks that get paired together by the manufacturers eventually drift in appearance because they were from separate dye batches, leaving the owner with a pair of odd socks.

The other other explanation is the sock gnomes. We don't talk about the sock gnomes.
