Purple Circle

The purple circle caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. I do try to keep a mental tally of what things we have left lying around and where. This was not in that collection and not a cat toy that we purchased, so I walked over and picked it up. Bite marks along the edges told me that it had become a cat toy. But where had it come from?

And then I put it all together- it was a lid from the small canister of kitty treats. Sadie had knocked them off the counter when she shredded the paper towel roll, and the sound caught both of their attention. One of them managed to get it open, and Sadie probably sniffed them and continued playing with the canister and lid, each ending up in separate rooms.

As for the contents of the mostly full canister- gone. There is not a morsel of evidence left. Sprite, not lacking for food, instantly consumes anything set before her, and then steals Sadie’s portion as well. Sprite gobbled them all up, picking up after Sadie’s mess, thankful that they fell on the floor in the first place, as Sadie chased the canister as it bounced downstairs.
