Scared cat hiding in house

While trying to fix my smoke alarm earlier, it cheeped loudly and it scared my little cat who was dozing nearby - she went thundering downstairs and I can't for the life of me find her!
I've been rattling Dreamies, calling her name, looking under and behind furniture.
We don't have a cat flap and all doors and windows are closed so she has to be somewhere indoors. I'm terrified she might have gone up the chimney though I shone a torch up there and I couldn't see anything.
What do I do oh wise litter tray-ers? Do I just wait it out in the hope she'll appear when she gets hungry? I can't bear the thought of her hiding away frightened somewhere. HELP!

Have you checked all your curtains? My skittish cat wraps himself behind a curtain if startled.

She will almost certainly be fine. They can hide in the oddest places, but if you make yourself a cup of tea and sit on the sofa with it for half an hour she will probably reappear.

She’s back! She was inside the sofa (which I’d pulled out to look behind it several times) all squirreled away. Now tucking into some tuna and loafed next to me on the sofa as though nothing has happened!

Love her cattitude!

What beautiful colouring she has! Glad she's OK!

My cat hid inside the recliner of the sofa the last time she had to go to the vet - and we had to cut away the leather along the back to get to her her out 😿

I'm glad she's ok and wow! What an absolutely beautiful ball of fluff 😍

Oh, I love your cat. It's expression is priceless.

Oh I love that pose, she’s got sass😻😻

We have a new smoke alarm that keeps going off when I shower. Came down to Dcat hiding under the dining table after it went off this morning. Thankfully she is a large breed cat and she doesn’t like her floof mushed up so she doesn’t fit into any small spaces🤣🤣

Remind me never to mess with your cat, OP Grin
