I'm the best pet owner EVER.

[apocalypsos]

And because I wasn't already anxious enough, my dad just came down with one of the cat beds and some toys and we spent a half hour looking for the cat and didn't find him.

Well, that was fun. *sigh*

EDIT: GYAH. He just appeared in front of me out of nowhere, just STARING. Oh, that wasn't creepy at all.

Can he squeeze behind the fridge? Because mine has a nice big hidey-hole underneath, and it's warm under there...

[mercymydarling.livejournal.com]

Do you have closets with top shelves? My old cat used to hide in the very back on the top shelve of our closet. Hope you find him.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

He could fit, but we looked there and no luck.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

One, but that door has been shut all day. The walk-in closet doesn't have an upper shelf, and my bedroom closet is wide open. And he's not in either one of those.

Me, freaked out? Naaah. *shifty eyes*

My BIL's cat used to slip through a hole in the tiles between the bathtub and the wall. Drove him NUTS looking for kitty!

How about up inside the box spring of your bed?

When we first got our kittens, they lived in my bedroom for a while, since I was paranoid and didn't want them to have to face the hyperactive husky until they could, like, claw his face off.

There were no places to hide in that room, and yet, THEY FOUND SOME. Dozens of them. I still have no idea where they were hiding.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

My kittens used to do that to my roommate. Drove her crazy. She'd soak them down with the squirt bottle, but it never helped.

[lekilitook.livejournal.com]

Good luck finding the cat. They can find the most interesting places to hide.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

How long since he's made a dent in the food or water bowl?

Man, kittens have collapsible rubber spines. They can hide anywhere. Even when they're fatass older cats.

Let us know when you find the bugger.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

He's probably hiding somewhere. Silly creatures.

[allegraconbrio.livejournal.com]

Is the kickplate under your kitchen and bathroom cabinets tight? I had a freak out when the kitten disappeared a few weeks ago, she managed to find a loose spot in the kickplate, and go under the cabinets in my kitchen. I hope he decides to reappear soon. Cats, love them, but they certainly can scare you to death sometimes.

[wtfbrain.livejournal.com]

Clearly, his name should be Pixel, not Otis.

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I hope you find him safe and sound soon!

Welcome to cat ownership. Because they own you, they'll do what they like.

[paddle-slut.livejournal.com]

ya...they tend to do that!! if you loose him again, try looking in warm, dark places that are out of the way
my cat likes to sit on our furnice pipes in the basement & in little nooks & cranies between the furniture

I have a kitten who also hides in the most bizarre places (like inside our couch). I swear that she can teleport, too; I'll look for her everywhere, and then turn around and she's sitting right behind me, or she'll run out of the room and when I go to the doorway, she's sitting behind me in the room.

It's good you found your cat! Back when my ferret was younger I'd have panic attacks when I couldn't find her. (Now I'm fairly certain the house is basically ferret proof, though.)

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Hah. Silly guy. They do say you can't find a cat. Cats find you.

[lunardreamed.livejournal.com]

Hah! I've had ferrets. I'm sure there's no such thing as ferret proof. Good luck.

[lunardreamed.livejournal.com]

Blinking and yawning as if to say "What's the big deal, you crazy humans?" I bet.

[mikhale.livejournal.com]

They're busy planning to take over the world. Do not disturb them.

[paranoidgrl.livejournal.com]

Your last paragraph pretty much sums up living with a cat. Learn to enjoy it.

[sweill.livejournal.com]

They are called 'cats' because 'spirits' was already taken, ya know? They can be anywhere at anytime. Because they're CATS.

Glad yours chose to reveal himself to you before you TOTALLY lost your mind =]

If there was a cat Olympics, Otis just got a gold medal. It was a masterful move on his part!

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

Cats do that, stare. Calm down. I'm sure he's not very evil.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The staring, I'm used to. The appearing-out-of-thin-air, not so much. Well, not with this cat, at least. He usually doesn't approach people at all on his own, even people he knows really well. The whole behavior-change thing is just throwing me right the hell off, because he's currently using it to fuck with me.

[huggenkiss.livejournal.com]

Is it wrong that this:

EDIT: GYAH. He just appeared in front of me out of nowhere, just STARING. Oh, that wasn't creepy at all.

made me almost fall out of my chair laughing? I could HEAR you saying that in my head. :D

Don't worry, my animals do that to me all the time. Eventually you get used to it. Hee!

It took us months to discover our cat's secret hiding place: The couch.

Specifically - INSIDE the couch. There was a hole in the fabric in the corner she forced her into and then she'd curl up suspended a few inches above the floor in fabric underneath the seat.

[prettiekittie.livejournal.com]

My boy cat does that kind of crap to me all the time.

Sometimes, it's fun to be a cat owner.

[swingangel.livejournal.com]

Ugh, my cat does that all the time. I turn around and she's just sitting there, staring at me. I wake up, and she's sitting off to the side, just staring.

Really creepy.

[james-translate.livejournal.com]

Ah, your cat hasn't learned yet that he's not supposed to go through walls, so he did. It's common.
*nods*
