- An odd sock makes an ideal pet toy. Stuff one with catnip and a squeaker to keep your cat entertained.
- If you like your dogs tiny but your savings big, turn an odd sock into a dog sweater. Ideal for that one big woolly old sock that's lost its walking partner.
- Try using a long sock to make a dog toy. Stuff the toe end with a tennis ball and then tie a knot in the sock to secure. Use it to play tug-of-war with your canine companion.
- And you can always donate to a pet charity - socks can be cut up and used as stuffing in animal beds.
