If you were a cat lost in my house where would you be?

Mine hides under the fridge. Yup under it. She is a weirdo.

My 14 pound furball likes to hide up in the box springs of DS#1 bed. A small section of the liner on the bottom has come loose...it's just enough of an opening for her to squeeze into when a strange person enters our house.

My herd usually hides in the boxed springs, as well. Even the 40-pounder. We just purchased a day bed with a trundle, the smaller of the herd can fit between the bottom of the day bed and the top of the trundle mattress.

He'll come out when he's ready. It's a scary thing to be in a new place, especially with another cat that's less than friendly. Give them time and they will either become friends or at least find their corners LOL.

My cat hides under the clothes in the laundry hamper, just her nose peeking out. She startles me!

This didn't happen at our house but our one cat at the house it lived in before ours somehow got in a wall and was trapped there. Do you have any holes in your walls or small access areas in the wall that it could have gotten into.

Wait, did I just read about a 40lb cat?

If they are in the box springs you may not be able to see a droop in the bottom fabric. It is generally pulled really tight. what you need to look for is a small tear.. it may be a hole or it may be where a couple of staples have come out along an edge to make a hole.

My cat also liked to get in the same area on a bunkie board (the support on the upper bed of a bunk bed) She didn't cause a droop in the fabric. She liked to hide there then claw the child trying to sleep on the bottom bunk

Keep in mind, even if he is a big boy, he only needs a hole the size of his head to get in. So you may be looking for a much smaller access hole than you think you are. The widest part of his skull is the most limiting element to the size of space he can get into.

My sisters cat disappeared for a week after the 4th of July, they thought she was gone for sure, she never gets out. She usually hides in my sis room. They found her underneath a recliner. Somehow she had climbed up underneath it. They had looked everywhere. I hope you find him.

I wish I could help-but one of my cats hides so well I have no clue where he hides. He has varying levels of hiding, pseudo hiding like behind the curtain, mostly hiding like in closets and behind furniture and super-duper stealth hiding where he essentially disappears into the ether and no one can find him.

When he goes all ninja kitty on us, we just put out the food and hope his royal catness forgives us for whatever our transgressions are and come out eventually.

Do yhave a garage? My sister's cat got behind some drywall where it was unfinished and got stuck. They found her remains years later and were all even sadder that she had died that way and they had no idea-they thought she had escaped

Mine hides behind the dryer.

One of mine likes to hide in the basement on the shelf with the sleeping bags.

I hope you find the elusive cat soon!

This is exactly what I was going to say!  My cat used to do this and it drove me nuts! He also used to climb onto rafters in the ceiling in the basement unless he got 2 puncture wounds in his butt from exposed nails.
