the cats have done it again
(the most likely suspects)
a long while after putting my latest puzzle away
without finding a missing piece
they have left a piece at my feet
now all i have to do is find their secret lair
where i may discover a treasure trove
of all of my missing ‘one-pieces.’

Every piece of a puzzle is just as important as any other piece, until it becomes the last one!

You should get a dog. They don’t hide puzzle pieces, they bite and eat them…. 😉🐶

I typed (w. difficulty) one of my dog’s stories on my smartphone but it didn’t ‘air’ and now it seems kinda too late for it. Although it was a funny one!

love the title of the piece and the little poem itself; in the charts here there’s a marvellous song by Vance Joy called ‘Missing Pieces’ in which the incomplete jigsaw puzzle is used as a metaphor for a relationship —

I wonder what they are thinking as they nonchalantly watch you discover the puzzle piece then look at them. They know you know.

HAHAHAHAHA It’s the way of the cat world. You’ll never find their secret spots, but just in case you’re the first to do so, be sure and take a photo. Who know what else you’ll find. 🙂 What a fun post. It’s a feline joke on their humans.
