Flummoxed

Okay, so we know no-one reading LJ can actively intervene, but we've lost our watch and our one ring (no, not that one, just the tiny one we wear on the little finger of our right hand). We know, since we've lost both, that the latter is hanging from the closed strap of the former and that we picked them up to put them on earlier on today (this eliminates the falling off or being lost in rubber gloves scenarios). We've checked the obvious spots: the bedside table in case we didn't pick them up; the shelves in the kitchen; beside both PCs; under the big cat, several times in several locations. We might have put them down somewhere more random, having spent most of the day chasing around after the small cat with s**t plastered across its a**e, trying to wash cat and clear up smearage. We feel naked if just one of these itmes is missing: with both gone, it's like being flayed.

And, yes, we did check in our pocketses.

Sorry to hear about the small cat's s**ty a**e, that's just miserable for all concerned.

Could a cat deliberately, or accidently, have pushed/pulled/knocked the watch and ring under something obscure?

Thank you for the sympathy. Little has had a bad case of furball for several days, mainly resulting in puking, and had fluff to the tune of a small rat brushed from her a day or so ago. She's more than a little unhappy.

And yes, feline intervention could account for the missing articles, especially as one cat being a little niffy means she can't hide from her bully of a brother quite so easily: normally out of sight is enough since he can't hear her, but he evidently hunts by scent as well as sight.

so sorry to hear this!

i know how infuriating that kind of mis-laying is. i had a similar problem with my checkbook a while back... so i understand that this kind of loss nags like a sore tooth that one can't keep touching.

best of luck - hope your things turn up soon!!! pf.

Thank you. I don't often lose things and I'm the official finder of all things mislaid round the house, so it's all a bit odd. I'm beginning to think I have to get the last bag out of the dustbin to check in there. Ugh!

They are on top of some books on a bookshelf ... no idea why you've placed them there as it's a fairly narrow gap below the shelf above, but that's where they are ... [1]





[1] probably! :-)

You've seen out bookshelves, haven't you! They must have teleported up by themselves. Not in a fit state to climb up and look, however.
