ok, so where is it?

[catnapper]

Laughing because you've all suggested the places we looked first --- the litterbox has been scooped twice since the remote went missing. I was in the snow checking the trash (blech!)

I checked his toy boxes, his clothes dresser, and bookcase.
I checked the entire office (including the litterbox in there)
I even checked the bathroom cabinets, drawers, trash.

The remote is gone! Hey, thanks to the missing remote, the bedroom is cleaner than it has been in a long time!

I feel so bad for the little guy. He always has a hard time on mondays. He's always over tired and flat-out refuses to take a nap. So he's GRUMPY. He gets frustrated easily and lashes out at anything within reach. So whatever is close at hand gets tossed, ripped, kicked, etc.

Maybe he threw it out the door into the snow. You won't find it until Spring.

I'm sorry the little guy had such a rough day.

I have wracked my brain and cannot come up with anything. However, I do have a suggestion for future. Keep the remote high enough that he cannot reach it.

Also, as far as temper trantrums go, I always ignored my kids when they tried that on me. Once they realize they are getting no attention from it they will have no reason to throw one.

Sounds like the poor guy has really tiring weekends. I'm glad it's only on Mondays.

{{{hugs}}} to you and hubby and especially Cameron.

couple days have gone by... have you asked him where he put it?... that´s IF he remembers.. lol.. good thing you can get a universal one in case you can´t find it...

good to hear it´s only mondays.. but hopefully that doesn´t last long

[lizbud]

Well, did you find the remote? where was it?

[Momto4FemaleFelines]

Probably a little late for this suggestion but would unplugging the tv when he was out of sight and then telling him that the tv will never, ever come on again unless he gets the remote out of it's hiding place?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, did you ever find the remote? If so where was it?

[catnapper]

Oops... its been a crazy week. It turns out that Cameron wasn't simply cranky. He was getting sick. So now he's a sniffy whiny little boy who's made us all sick.

We finally found the remote last night --- behind the office door. We always keep that door open, so its a wonder we found it already!

What I do to keep a remote 'visible'?


I take a string, piece of yarn or ribbon and place one end in the battery compartment, so it makes a 'tail' on the unit.

If you use some kind of bright colored string or yarn? you can find it readily should it fall into a couch cushion or under furniture......

Even behind a door?

See the flaw in your design is that you don't have 8 cats.... 8 cats + ribbon.... the ribbon would be gone long before the remote is lost again!
