Re: Strange hiding places


Vinnie still hides in the bath and jumps out at us randomly when we enter the bathroom - he has always done this since he was a kitten and he is now 2 and a half years old!

Lola hides on the windowsil but only when the curtains are closed. And she will keep popping her head through to look at us every ten minutes or so and will pounce if we come near. Sometimes she falls asleep behind there and falls off and then just lies down wherever she has fallen - like as if she intended to fall (saving face me thinks).

Harry likes to hide behind the TV and has mastered how to switch it off at his leisure!

Aren't cats just peculiar creatures - in the nicest possible way!!

Re: Strange hiding places


Can't say any of mine have ever hidden as such - but the behind the curtain I'll bet is a favourite with many kitties! I love your description Manyana!

Good thread - I look forward to other hidey-hole stories.

Re: Strange hiding places


Ella has discovered that she fits under our new coffee table. It is very low so I am unsure how she manages this!!

Alfie likes to lie ontop of cupboards ... and Oli likes his bed.

Re: Strange hiding places


Tanya's story of the coffee table brings to mind ..... when we'd just moved in to this house, many moons ago now (stop yawning, I'll get to the cat bit soon) both Merlin and Smudge, who were not small cats squeezed under our chest of drawers in the bedroom and didn't come out for days - I got really worried because the weather was really hot. I put water and food down for them, but as far as I know they were just so traumatised, they didn't venture out at all.

Took a while, but they did love it here, especially Smudge who just loved the biggish garden and definitely always preferred out to in.

Re: Strange hiding places


Minnie likes to be completly hidden by going under the quilt,under any clothes you put down. You have to be careful if you sit or lay on the bed as you cant always see the lump in the quilt and you squash her.Even in that hot weather she would hide there.If she got hot a paw would hang out.

Re: Strange hiding places


Fluffy can frequently be found in any draws, cupboards or linen baskets. I don't mind at all - unless she finds the freshly ironed stuff!!

Re: Strange hiding places


My first cat, Snowy like to try and hide in shoes- problem was he could only get his front feet and head in.

Re: Strange hiding places


Hestia will hide in any dresser drawer if it's left open..which is fine unless you don't notice and shut her in (I did that one Christmas! Imagine my confusion trying to track the muted meowing!!).
