Meanwhile, watch your kitten play:&nbsp; does she bat things sideways?&nbsp; If so, you'll most likely find the watch on the floor, caught behind a furniture leg, upholstery, etc. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4/page/2#post-1504596 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 17:32:34 +0000 Anonymous 1504596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Diana's suggestion of same company but different ( doesn't have to be wildly different!) style. That way you're buying something you love that you know works for you and if the lost one turns up you won't feel silly.<br />I'd rather go without than buy something I don't like as much because it's cheaper.<br />I had no idea cats did things like that. I'm really more of a dog person but this story makes me think I underestimated cats.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4/page/2#post-1504514 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:17:54 +0000 Mander 1504514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always seem to find the thing I was looking for as soon as I buy a replacement, so I'm in the "buy a different watch" camp. Not necessarily a cheap one but not a duplicate, either.</p> <p>Even though I'm a smart phone addict I still wear a watch most of the time. It's a pain to have to dig out my phone and unlock it just to see what time it is when I could just glance at my arm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4/page/2#post-1504513 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:10:54 +0000 Thistle 1504513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The breeder forgot to mention this behavior! It has, however, made DD1 really good about picking up her toys! I now put my other watch and any jewelry in the drawer of my nightstand.</p> <p>He's so good with the kids it's amazing. And he's enormous. At 5 months, he's bigger than my Russian Blue. We sometimes forget he's still a kitten! They are both indoor only kitties, so it has to be here. But there are so many nooks and crannies, and we're worried he might have hidden it in our very messy basement. . . </p> <p>I think I am going to start hunting for a new gold watch to love. I now know it's worth the splurge as I wear it all the time. If the other turns up in a few months, I will just have 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4/page/2#post-1504491 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:14:04 +0000 texstyle 1504491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maine coons are notorious for that behavior but sometimes it can be dangerous to them (they have been known to swallow things they shouldn't).&nbsp; I'd probably give it a bit more time and so a little more looking. Maybe you could set up a nanny cam to see where the little one likes to hide things? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4/page/2#post-1504466 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:20:19 +0000 Summer 1504466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go for a cheap, temporary replacement hoping that the original turns up. &nbsp;The one thing I've learnt about lost items is that they tend turn up the minute you buy a new one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504463 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:15:59 +0000 approprio 1504463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd buy another watch, maybe Movado, maybe something else.

That's the best advice I can offer. </p> <p>I can only tell you what I'd do if it were me, which may not work for you because we're different people. &nbsp;I would replace what was lost with the same. A substitute would be mere placeholder. Mind you, I'm the kind of person who would never have two different watches. To me, a watch is like a wedding ring: I only need one, and it will be my <i>favourite</i> design. I can't see the point of wearing a second-best design. (I also have very little jewelry, because I like to wear my favourite pieces every day).&nbsp;</p> <p>If, however, you can't stand the idea of having two identical watches if the original should be found, then by all means buy a different one. This is a totally personal choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504353 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 04:40:43 +0000 Adelfa 1504353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can find a different Movado that you truly love and won't make you pine for the original, buy that. If not, duplicate the lost one. I agree with Gaylene that it might be cheaper to do that than to buy around what you really want. Like when you want a chocolate truffle, and instead you end up eating Fritos, a cheeseburger, and several pieces of buttered toast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504337 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 03:27:44 +0000 Debbie 1504337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would buy a watch you love. Your watch could turn up but it might take months. A watch is an integral part of your style and something you use constantly. Find something you live even if it is a duplicate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504336 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 03:27:24 +0000 Catnip 1504336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will find the missing Movado as soon as you buy a new one. &nbsp;I'd go for option #2 or #3. &nbsp;I would also try to cat-proof my home.</p> <p>Did you look under all the rugs? &nbsp;Under the sofa cushions? &nbsp;On the floor of all the closets? &nbsp;On top of the kitchen cabinets and the refrigerator?

Grinch. When the cat speaks, the cat speaks.</p> <p>I'd buy the exact same Movado again. I'm very particular when it comes to watches.

I'd go for option 2 -- buy a cheap, fun fashion watch and wait for the Movado to turn up. Unless Kitty goes outside, there's a good chance it will. One of my cats (now 10) went through a horrible magpie phase as a youngster, but grew out of it. Since she's an indoor only cat, we eventually found all her lairs. She also seemed to have phases of repentance when she'd bring things back to us -- sometimes months after the crime. Actually, now I think of it, she appears to have some Maine Coon in her.</p> <p>Carter, your Christmas Grinch story is among the funniest I've heard.</p> <p>Alaskagirl, your kitties are precious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504311 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 02:07:23 +0000 Echo 1504311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, your second picture is the cutest. thing. ever. They are so adorable and look like twins (maybe they are twins?).&nbsp;</p> <p>And I must see this Maine Coon Cat! I hear they are gorgeous cats, but I don't know if I've ever seen one IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504300 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 01:52:33 +0000 catgirl 1504300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no suggestions but I can empathize.

My cat eats paper. Only the important kind, like drafts of my writing. Or cheques.&nbsp;</p> <p>Although if my theory is true, I don't know where that leaves Carter.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am with Greyscale. Get a different watch that you love for now, and in the meantime, let's hope the little thief decides to bring the sparkly object back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504297 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 01:45:50 +0000 pil 1504297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course buying a new watch practically guarantees that the missing Movado will reappear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504293 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 01:40:00 +0000 Echo 1504293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would replace the Movado, but with a slightly different style in case the original ever shows up.

I was going to say get an inexpensive watch, but it may just remind you of your loss. Get a watch you love, either a duplicate or something different. Anything else is probably a waste of money. ( I have friends who swear by St. Anthony for finding lost items) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504282 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 01:18:46 +0000 unfrumped 1504282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How weird , how funny!<br /> I absolutely depend in my watch.<br /> I'm stumped for instant advice.<br /> It would burn me up to buy a dupe and find it the next day or week. Though that seems unlikely.<br /> I'd take a step back and see, with Movado out of the way for now, has any other style ( or color) been tickling your fancy but you would not have thought you should indulgen in a third watch?<br /> Or , what if you had run over it with the car, so, no chance of its reappearing-- would you for sure want the same watch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504268 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 00:59:51 +0000 Greyscale 1504268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter, that Grinch story is unbelievably hilarious. Aside from needing to fish it out of the toilet, of course!</p> <p>As for Thistle's watch question - I'd say get a new one that's different, and then enjoy having more options when/if you find it. But if you are really attached to the one you had, an exact duplicate is totally justifiable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504264 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 00:56:35 +0000 Jjsloane 1504264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a cat who deposited coins in my shoes.

Then when the Movado is found you will have three wonderful watches you love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504254 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 00:31:25 +0000 Gaylene 1504254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you've done a thorough search, I'd consider the Movado ca(t)put. That reduces your choices to (1) replace with another Movado or (2) start the search for a different watch. As far as timing (oops, another bad pun!), how long are you willing to go with just a silver watch? </p> <p>My choice would be to replace the Movado now because it is a wardrobe essential for you. If you find another watch in the future that you adore--great, you get to add a third watch to your collection, but at that point you won't be buying it under pressure. And, in the off chance your original watch resurfaces, you can always gift it to someone else if you don't want to keep both Movados. Chances are they won't be exactly the same, anyway. </p> <p>To my mind, it always makes more sense to spend my money on what I really want--and it usually ends up being costing me less in the long run. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-4#post-1504248 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 00:25:32 +0000 Diana 1504248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd probably go for a second, but different, movado. The first one may turn up.</p> <p>Full disclosure: I own two movados. They look almost identical except one is ink blue and the other is black. I wear both. In my defense the second one is an "upgrade" and was gifted to me after I'd had the first one for over 15 years. </p>
