I’ve just spent 30 minutes searching my entire house for one of my cats, even looking in the bedrooms that have doors closed and couldn’t find him anywhere.

And then I found him here, in the little house on the cat tree 🤦🏼‍♀️

My neighbour’s cat. Fortunately, she is very chilled about his infidelity

One of mine likes to sit in the empty bath sometimes too.
Also on top of the fridge.
I can't tell you the amount of times I've gone to open the curtains in the morning and both me and Hidden Cat on window sill have jumped out our skin 😂

One of mine is currently sprawled across my bed next to 1 year old who is also sprawled across the bed!
She's giving me the evil eye and tail twitch as I think she knows I'm about to evict her out the bedroom!

At the back of my underwear drawer and inside the chiminea in the summer.

The tumble dryer. I always check before putting anything in

Theunamedcat · 13/12/2024 20:29

Couldn't find the bookcase one but this is my meter cupboard I sometimes store cat food in it and he managed to get in and hoover up a few scraps

  1. Under floor after inspection hatch was opened. It was the strange underfloor miaowing gave him away.
  2. On the flat roof of the extension. But not until the ladder had been put away on the high rafters in the garage.

We once had a cat hide in our house for 3 days. Not our cat. It was in the shoe rack

MmeSzyszkoBohusz · 13/12/2024 21:02

Not sure how long he was here before we noticed…

One of our kittens loves a drawer.

On top of the door.

Not on top of the frame, on top of the actual door. Shed climbed up a coat, hanging over it at the time, and was precariously walking along the top, wondering how to get down.

I have my work cut out for me with this one. A different spot every time I go looking for her.

Love the cat tree! Where did you buy it?

Aw, what a gorgeous cat. We had a cat years ago who used to like sleeping in the sink. We’d have to take her out to use it and then she would lick the water drips left in the sink before going back to sleep in it.

Our girl cat is currently hiding in the Christmas tree.

Our boy cat sits on the robot vacuum and even stays when we put it on.

Black cat curled up on a black rug. I found it by kicking it 😬

I found mine on the top of a very tall chest of drawers, I'd been searching for an hour for her!

Ours always hides in high places, I’m sure she’s half mountain goat. Usually found on the top of the boiler cupboard. God knows how she gets up there, it’s a standalone tall cupboard like a tall wardrobe.

lovelydayIhave · 14/12/2024 09:54

We used to have a large decorative wicker basket on the top of the fridge- one day we couldn't find our cat anywhere and then she suddenly peaked out of the basket- so we just put a nice plumped pillow in there for her and since then its her favourite spot to have a nap and hide from kids a general house chaos.😹

TeabySea · 14/12/2024 10:00

Not mine, but a while ago I was out with a friend and stayed overnight at her house. Her cat is quite nervous and tends to hide when she has company, so having caught a glimpse when I got there, I didn't see any more of the cat and assumed it was behind the sofa.
When I went to bed, I found the cat. Curled up between the top sheet and the duvet, and very condescending towards me wanting to get properly under the covers!

Michu. I’m in Australia and bought from their Australian site.
The tree comes with fluffy pillows which the cats love to sleep on once they’re out of the tree baskets. Refuse to go near the tree when the fluffy pillows are in the tree. All the cats love the tree once the pillows are gone.
