 Hi There,
 I have several cats that do this, both male and female.  Not with socks, but with their favorite toys.  I think that for some cats this is like a security blanket but I do refer to them as their "babies".  I do think that in female cats, they may be exibiting maternal behavior.  With the boys it might be just a security thing, or perhaps they are a bit confused.....lol
 
 I have to say that both of my boys that do this are very insecure cats, both losing their mothers at a very young age.  This goes for one of the girls also.  One of the other girls had kittens before I adopted her, so perhaps the maternal thing fits her.  Or maybe it's as a result of trauma.  She was abused as a young cat and in her young adult years she survived a major house fire.
 
 BTW, your baby is just beautiful!
