it's usually because the cat has hidden them. I figure that they will turn up again, either when she relocates them to a more visible place, or when I do a more thorough seasonal cleaning and move more things around than usual.

She's not as fixated on shiny things as when she was a kitten. But there is still a favorite earring missing. Ironically, it is a dangling earring of a silver cat. Ember might have put it into a shoe, maybe an old pair that I hardly wear any more. I suspect her as the culprit because one day I caught her pulling open a drawer of my jewelry box.

Her favorite hiding spot used to be under an area rug. I'd discover lost articles when I was vacuuming. Then it changed to under the couch, lined up in a row like a secret treasure to gloat over.

Now she has several different spots to keep me on my toes, I guess.
