You know how when you first put on your coat for the winter you sometimes find money?

[conuly]

Yeah, well, guess what? I finally found my bra!

And it never would have happened if I had not first misplaced my green jacket and had to go out with my heavy coat instead.

(I also found my other long-missing bra today. Weird day for bras, right? This one was under the cat.)

lost stuff can show up in the oddest places.

You never know what you'll find under a cat. One time my son found his missing cell phone, which had been vibrating under the cat so long while he searched for it, that its battery had run down.

...was the bra in your coat pocket?

:D

[conuly]

Obvs, I mean, where else would it be? Don't we all store our bras there over the winter? I don't know why nobody suggested it when I first said I couldn't find it...!

[marahmarie]

Oh wow, I remember that (I asked you if it was hanging on the hook on your closet door, which I can recall without even checking the original post).

Has the cat not moved for several days/weeks/months or something or am I just taking this wrong?

[conuly]

LOL, no, it was under the sheets in what's supposed to be the sheet shelf but what she thinks is the comfy cat shelf. All of it, sheets and bra and shelf, covered in fur. (Kitty, inexplicably, is also covered in fur. I don't know where it all comes from. The amount she sheds you'd think she'd be bald by now, but somehow there's always more.)

[cellio]

Ah, under a sheet under the cat. I was wondering. Also assuming you'd have to launder it first because of the hair. :-)

One of my past cats would shed enough fur in a season to make another whole cat, or so it seemed as I was cleaning it up from all his clever depositories. Cats are magic that way.

[conuly]

A new cat every season? I wish Callie only shed that much.
