I just have to get in on this conversation. My problem isn't with cats but my Shih Tsu, King. If I ever leave my crochet scarf works-in-progress where he can reach them, I usually later find them strung out from my room into the next. He loves to hide things, too. I usually find scraps or entire quilt blocks hidden behind the sofa. And if ever we have small children come to visit, I always know that I can find all his toys hidden under the computer desk. He doesn't seem to want to share. (LOL) Our pets are a true blessing from God.
