I’ve totally lost the cats’ shit scooper.

It’s one of those slotted spade-things you use to get the clumps of shit out of catboxes, and it’s bright mauve. And I’ve lost it. I remember taking it upstairs last night to clean the cats’ boxes out, so I had it upstairs. Then I did the downstairs box, so I had it downstairs. Then somewhere between there and coming back from throwing the shit into the compost bin I realised I didn’t have it anymore. It wasn’t back where I usually put it (on the bench next to the back door), so naturallly I assumed I’d accidentally thrown it into the compost bin along with the poo. And since it was like 11:30 at night I didn’t really want to go fishing around in the bin, but when I came back this morning to check it wasn’t there.

I can’t find it anywhere. No, seriously, I just turned the house upside-down looking for the damn thing, and I can’t find it. So somewhere between walking from the laundry to the compost bin someone– nay, something stole my shitspoon.

It’s one of those things that would appear in stories about alien abductions or whatever if it wasn’t for the fact that the item is so totally ridiculously innocuous.

Goddamn I need to find that thing; I’m not picking the shit out by hand.

No, scratch that; it was in the compost bin, just hiding down the side under the rim. Just goes to show, there’s always a logical explanation, no matter how much LiveJournal wants to tell your it’s ghosts/aliens/Loki/Pyramid Head/your mother.
