Hi there!

My husband and I have recently adopted a cat (1 and a 1/2 yrs old) and she seems to be losing her toys (a small ball, a toilet roll and a plastic cork from the top of a bottle, so far) after playing with them for a day or so.

We have looked under furniture etc and can't work out where she's put them! She hasn't been outside yet so we know they must be in the house somewhere. All we know is that they're there when we leave for work in the morning and she's lost them when we get home at night.

I know that dogs sometimes hide their favourite things and that pack rats take things and hide them. Does anyone know of cats doing the same thing?!

I don' think they do this on purpose & they don't remember where they lost their toys. My kitten & cat does this ALL the time. Good spots to look if you haven't already is under the stove & fridge, washer/dryer. Anywhere you think something could get under. They will play with them ALL over the house.

Good luck finding them!

When cats are playing with things they throw them around and all a lot. Because of this they can get hidden from the cats and buried quite easily. Just the other day we cleaned and moved a bookshelf in the house and under it (where we and the cat couldn't see of course) were a bunch of the toys he used to play with. Never would have found them if we hadn't moved the bookcase.

Mine likes straws.... and they disappear after a day or so.

and sure enough, one day, I pull out the TV set, and there is a set of 50+ straws, all neatly organized and perfectly aligned with each other.

We re-checked under the couches last night and found all the missing stuff under one of them! I guess we didn't check so good the first few times! But when we got home from work tonight they're all missing again!

note to self: check under the couch - properly this time!

Underneath couches/arm chairs is a very good hiding place :p

I went to vaccuum one day and found six pencils, two balls, 3 dried sardines and a peg. :scratch: lol! :D
