Cat in the Corner

Our cat lost her belled collar sometime before Christmas last year. We knew it had to be somewhere in the house, so we kept an eye out for it for weeks. We were surprised to find the collar didn’t turn up when we took down the holiday decorations. Eventually we gave up and bought her a new one. Last week I made a batch of fresh mayonnaise and put it in a Tupperware container. When I reached into the drawer for the lid, it was gone. I remembered that small lids sometimes fell behind the drawers in my kitchen cabinets, so I pulled out the bottom drawer and knelt to look for it. The lid wasn’t there, but the cat’s old collar was. How on earth did her collar get in there? I never did find that Tupperware lid. I’ve no idea where it could have gone. Maybe I should ask the cat.
