Do you have any kittens under 1 yr old? My 4 1/2 month kitten loves bringing my "stuff" down out of my sewing room to play with. Small snips, seam rippers, pin cushions--in other words anything he can get in his mouth!! I also put things away and never find them again until I buy replacements. I found my 1x6 ruler in my spray bottle of water. Was trying to soak off the label. lol
