Vino likes to hide in high up places. He sleeps on top of our wardrobe in
the bedroom, there isn't that much room between the top and the ceiling. We
also have a tall shelf in the living room on top of which he likes to hide.
Often I'll be looking for him and happen to look up and there he is, doing
his gargoyle impression by hanging his head and paws over the edge :-)

in fur!

When Cali was younger she liked to play hide and seek.

We have a dresser that has the drawers raised 6" off the floor, with a
scalloped front covering the space. This leaves a perfect space for a
devious cat to hide, as we found out. One day we were calling Cali for
about half an hour with no luck. Finally we saw this nose moving back
and forth under the dresser. I just know she was killing herself
laughing. Stupid Hoomins.

Smokey doesn't play hide and seek, but loves to den up to sleep. When
we first got her we kept her in a small room at night, away from Cali.
The first morning we opened the door to let her out, but there was no
Smokey to be found. There was nothing in the room but an ironing board,
her litter an an old TV. We finally discovered that the old TV had a
small hole in the base of the cabinet.

Smokey also likes to sleep under the comforter on the bed, with or
without people. She gets under the comforter on the floor and then
jumps on the bed with the comforter on top of her. She then burrows
around until she finds a good spot. If the bed is made, she usually
ends up between the pillows. Took us a while to find her the first
time.

When anyone knocks on the door both girls take off for the bedroom -
not to hide but to look out the window which has a perfect view of the
door. If it's someone they know and like, they come back and greet the
visitors. Otherwise LB stays in the bedroom and Sammy sits in the
bedroom doorway and observes. If Rocky happens to be inside, he sits
about three feet from the door and usually darts out as soon as it's
opened. There's only a couple people he sticks around to greet.

For those times they want to hide, Sammy's current hideout is under
the bedspread, and LB's is under the bed - though she sometimes just
goes under the bed and naps for the heck of it. Rocky doesn't really
have a hideout inside, guess he stills feels safer outside.

Frank doesn't exactly hide, but when he "vants to be alone" he retires to
the top of the bookcase. It's a good hiding place if you don't know about
it. One time, I was away overnight and my Mum went to feed the cats in the
morning. She looked high and low for Frank but couldn't find him, and was
getting worried that he had slunk out the door when she came in. It turned
out she hadn't looked high enough. When she finally looked up on top of the
bookcase, there was Frank, watching her looking for him. Sometimes, when he
really wants peace, he will go behind the books on a shelf.

Nikki has her own personal black hole somewhere. She brought it with her
when we moved. There is no other explanation for how she can disappear so
completely. Only the sound of kibble hitting the floor will bring her out of
it.

Frank hides under the tablecloth. He actually thinks we don't know where he is.
He only does this when he has gotten scolded.
