items disappear

      Have you ever layed a tool down, right where you are working, then not be able to find it. Tools and other objects tend to vanish in this house then turn up in totally inappropriate places. Its gotten so we say,"OK funs fun but will you please return it." The cat, however, never returned. He stayed in the basement most of the time even though he had been raised with our dogs and got along fine with them. He just preferred the basement; coming up two or three times a day to eat and sometimes play with the dogs. The cat was totally a house cat. He had no idea about the great outdoors. Had he somehow gotten out I'm certain he would have stayed near the house. One evening, while I was sitting in the library, I heard him thump something in the basement and let out a muffled meow. Thinking he might have hurt himself I went to the basement to check...no cat, nowhere. Even his favorite dish failed to produce him. If he'd died in the house he would surely have produced an oder...none such. We never saw him again.
