That's funny. I like to keep the 2 empty bedrooms closed. One is where my bf keeps his clothes and the other is my "cvs room" where u have shelves and baskets of all my free stuff from couponing. If she gets in the cvs room she'll get hurt and I'll never find her.

Couldn't find her for awhile one day and she sleeping in bf's dressing room in his underwear drawer!

I used to keep her litter box in the unfinished basement but that soon changed when I was on the phone with work and went to get her and she was standing on the fridge about to leap through a crack into the garage. My poor coworker heard every obscenity ever in those 2 minutes.

wow, that's very clever of her. If my cat isn't immediately visible she's invariably just sleeping under a bed (I've put a blanket under her bed of choice).

 

Moosey loves going under the bed. It was her "safe spot" when we first got her, so she sleeps under there. Ziggy loves going under the entertainment center.

 

Joy's favorite spot is either in one of the 3 big boxes we have for her or on the chairs under the kitchen table...

 

Zipper spends hours and hours on the screened in porch. In mild weather she lives out there. With access 24/7 to it, that is her primary place to snooze - even when it is 25 degrees. Whoever said that cats like to be warm have not met my Zipper and Jack!! They will stay out there for hours - even in a snow storm.

Jack also likes to squeeze his 20+ pound girth under the loveseat. It's so funny to see the tip of his tail sticking out. I almost expect to see the loveseat lopsided with his bulk under one end!! =D

The most unusual hiding place and one that really stumped me until I found it, is under a round table that has a table cloth over it. If you lift the skirt and look under it you still won't see the cat - it is on a built in shelf about 2 feet off the floor in the back corner!! Clever little imps! Jack is deathly afraid of thunder and will often squeeze under that or the loveseat if he hears it for the duration of the storm plus an extra hour.

 

My kitties have a lot of favorite hiding places.
The top shelf in the closet, under the bed, under the dresser, under the end table in the living room, behind the tv. Usually whichever room I'm in is which hiding spot they're in.

 

I know their favorites. What I don't know is where their BEST hiding spots are. Because there are times when I've looked everywhere and couldn't find one of them. I'll go in the kitchen and shake the treat bag, and the missing girl will come running, but I have NO idea where from. Makes me a little crazy!!

 

LOL...same thing in our house too! Drives me nuts! :lol:

 

Anytime any of mine are scared they run to the basement and hide under this chair that they love to sit on normally. Another spot of under the bed and one I just discovered is one of mine loved going into the cat room closer where we stored this cat sack they never used but apparently like it on the shelf in there lol

Mitsey likes to hide under my couch to take a nap and Rico hides whereever his big butt will fit now:crazy.

 

One time I found a small tear in my porch screen. I looked all over for the cats but could not find Billy anywhere. I checked and double checked. I convinced myself he had gotten out and gotten lost. I made up flyers, posted them all over the neighborhood - enlisted the aid of friends, neighbors, strangers. Nothing. I came home and was totally distraught. An hour later, he comes waltzing out from behind the washing machine. I didn't know whether to be mad or happy.
I went around on my bike taking down the signs, slipped on wet leaves and broke my elbow in two places. Required two surgeries.
We now have a new porch with screening that is almost totally indestructable!!

 

Funny you mention that. When we first moved to our current house the plan was to put the litter box in the laundry/furnace room. Well that didn't work. Two of my three cats went missing. We found them both trapped behind the washing machine.

Another funny story when I first got my first cat Sophie, as a kitten before we got Anna, I couldn't find her anywhere in the apartment. There was no way for her to escape but I couldn't find her for 3 hours. I was frantic. Turns out she snuck in the entrance closet and shimmied inside my winter boot but was stuck.

Lily liked to sleep in the BF's drawer, but he keeps it top heavy. Twice she has jumped in the drawer after he's left and I hear a HUGE crash as the dresser tumbles over and a fur ball flashes past. The second time it happened I didn't clean anything up and left it for the BF once he saw what was happening he kept the top drawer closed...but from time to time I find her sleeping in the pj drawer.

 

My older cats have their club house unfettered the bed and my younger kitten likes to hang out in a carrier. He stays really still so I can't find him before I leave for work

 

When Artie first discovered, under the bed--he was so funny!!
he would hide almost all of his body, but leave his tail out!!!
Now he goes completely under it!
We play hide and seek every morning, sometimes during the day---he runs, hides, and I seek!
This morning he decided to hide under the side of my dresser---but tail and butt sticking out---he makes me laugh!!!
Also, loves to hide, sitting on the dining room table- I have a tablecloth on the table...
Under a bentwood rocker, under an old foot stool, and of course paper bags and boxes...this week it has been his soft sided carrier!!!
:devil

 

Sounds like he's making himself right at home!

My 11-month old kitty likes to lurk around corners then he gallops out and "pounces" on me. Sometimes he genuinely scares me because I'm not expecting it.

My cat is better at hide and seek than I am, I guess!

He'll sometimes "bite" as in he'll basically place his mouth on me but he never bites down. He pounces with claws retracted, lands his kill shot with a soft kind of "gotcha" by gently putting his mouth on my arm then gallops away very pleased with himself.

Usually if I think he's hiding and he hasn't come after me, it's probably because I shut him in a room or closet accidentally.

When he's scared (like when my mother visits - and I don't blame him!) he wedges his not so tiny anymore body under the couch. When she leaves ill tell him the coast is clear and he comes out and is his normal self again.

 

My Pippi hides between the shower curtain and the liner. She waits for the rattle of the treats to emerge.

 

Mine loves the same spot! He sits on a pushed in kitchen chair and watches me cook. That's also where he waits while I'm getting his wet food out and in the bowl.

Robin has several! He likes to take naps IN my spare matttress There's the cupboards,the bathtub,under chairs...and he won't come out easily. When I can't find him,I look in the spare mattress. He looks at me sleepily,'do you MIND?' Give 'em their space. Just make SURE.

 

i only have one cat who really "hides" from people. baci runs and opens the cabinet under the kitchen sink and gets in there. he's gotten better about strangers but he still hates deep male voices. people don't believe me that he can get it open, but it's the only one he can. no one can open the one under the bathroom sink and that makes me happy.

diotima just doesn't care. she flops down anywhere and sleeps and it's mostly right out in plain sight. houdini likes to get up under the chest of drawers (there's not much room) and sleep.

 

Little footie loves my laundry basket. if u can't find her she is in there. Mezzier (RIP) loved to open cabinets and hide there till i child proof them.
