They actually do! Scully takes socks out of the laundry hamper and walks around with them in his mouth making a whining sound

I can never find the toys I buy mine either, they just vanish never to be found again

There's 40 furry mice hidden somewhere in my house. One will surface every now and then but I've no idea where the rest are, I have a pretty neat & tidy house too

Usually I find mine under the couches but I think they've hidden some inside of my mattress. The cloth under the boxspring is ripped and so they sleep in there sometimes.

I moved Damita & Chico into the bathroom, came back 15 mintues later with fresh food, water, & litter. There are no toys on the floor. There isn't anywhere for them to hide, so I start opening cupboards. Lo & behold there they are! So, which monkey can open cupboard doors?

As far as Twitch & Lily, the chase them under the chiars or under the bi-fold doors. I usually find most of them, but one or two makes a trip under the fridge never to be seen again....

I noticed Skittles sleeps here at times too.

There's no place like home
All you need to do to find them is move. Pack your belongings, put your furniture on a truck and low and behold, you will find hundreds of toys!

We just moved, and after the movers left, I walked around and picked up all the "lost" toys and put them in a box. When we got to the new place and unpacked that box, I laughed when I found about 2 dozen toys in that box. I threw them all on our bedroom floor and when my husband walked in there, he just cracked up.

I like the thought that they pair up with the missing socks from the laundry. Alas, we found no socks when we moved so they must go to different places! LOL

If the toys are under the stove/refridge, then they can stay there seeing as I'm in no possion to crawl amongst the dirt, grim from previous apartment owners.

If I'm looking for a certain toy (those plastic balls only come out when it's time to play and once play time is done in the cat drawer they go!) I just look under the bed (devin's secret hiding place) or in the cat cube.

I was quite surprised to find about 10 little furry mice all hidden away in the cat cube when I picked it up to clean the apartment! Now I check there once and week and remove offending items (bottle tops, pens and pencils).

Jamie likes to "hide" his inside guitars - it drives my husband batty. Of course, some balls and mice have seemed to just vanish into thin air.

Oh this thread is funny..... I was just asking Anthony this morning, have you seen any of Katie's toys??.... all her toys are missing. We looked all over and I only found one mouse under the sofa. Katie must have 20 mice and two rubber balls. Where are they all??? She must have a hiding spot somewhere in the house.

Well with 2 cats and a 2 year old...I cant EVER find thier toys. I was spring cleaning the other day, and found 6 balls, 3 furry mice, 2 catnip bags, and one little bear with a bell on it. All cat toys just under the couches. Then I found these REALLY awesome sparkly balls (which I forgot I bought for them), under the fridge, well 2 out of the three anyways.

And then I found the "secret" hiding place that my daughter puts all those missing toys too. We have an old DVD holder box thing that we never use, and apparently she uses it. lol.

I epect that when the movers remove all the furniture i will find dozens of little toys benaeth and behind all sorts of things. Since she loves knotted paper cord. I bough a huge spool and make new ones everyday. there must be over two dozen of them hidden somewhere by now.

when i was a teenage girl I had a cat who would take my sparkly pierced earrings and hide them in a cache under my mother's bed. I accused my sister of losing my jewelry until I caught the cat coming from my room with a little dangly hoop in her mouth, followed her and retrieved all my stolen earrings. It was quite adorable.
