catmandu, that's an interesting theory, and it could be true, because they always seem to remember where they have hidden their toys!

Russian Blue, this is one of the cases when you start wondering if there are these mysterious holes that connect us with parallel universes or something like that! Years ago, it happened to my sister that a pair of batteries fell from her table and she never found them again, not even when she moved out. And she has seen them falling... it was really weird! Maybe Nakita has found one of these holes!

Smokey also has a tendency to place his bouncy balls in his daddy's running shoes.
LOL; that sounds very much like feline basket ball!
