What odd places does your cat sleep or hide in?

I had one that used to sleep on top of a chain link fence inside the honeysuckle that grew on it. When you walked by a head would pop out from the bushes on top of the fence. Pretty soon 4 heads would pop out....he got the others to sleep there too. They would climb the chain link like a mountain climber-one paw in each link until they got to the top...copying him of course. Cat are also a great source of amusement!

That must have been pretty funny. My four year old cat has recently taken to sleeping in any old box she can find. The smaller the box, the more she seems to like it. My daughter got a new pair of cleats and left the box on her floor. The cat jumped in and made herself at home! Later that day, my daughter found an old shoe box and the cat curled herself inside that box. Now we keep the boxes out for her, and found that her favorite is a small, and I mean small book box. She scrunches herself inside and snoozes the afternoon away. When she wakes, she STRETCHES like crazy, but keeps getting back in the tiny box! Cats are great.

Unlike our late Mr. Fluffers, who loved nothing better than rushing outside to sit on the fence in the rain, and who preferred to sleep in the lavatory sink complete with convenient intermittent drips to slake the occassional thirst, our current cat, Bartholomew J. Furburgher, Esq., prefers to express his sleeping and hiding needs in a manner more closely corresponding to his tiger cousins. He is quite the chameleon in the garden, whether our's or our neighbors'. Some very interesting paraphernalia clings to his fur, and I have to check any clothing I have laid out for these garnishes, as his second favorite place to sleep is on my clothes, robe, etc. That's because he is claiming me as his, and I'm very much OK with that, as I keep plenty of those masking tape rollers at hand.





I have two chairs in my bedroom but nowhere to sit, unless I wish to stand up with a furry behind. I made the mistake of leaving a towel off one of the chairs, and I'm no longer sure what color that chair's designers had in mind.





Favorite hidey-hole is under my freestanding headboard, a la ostrich: as long as his face is buried in the corner of the headboard amongst the dust bunnies, whom I am convinced are close personal friends of his, it matters not that his tail gives him away.





I have also found him in a low plastic shelving unit at the back of my walk-in closet, across from a very realistic looking mannequin "cat" (one of those molded cat shapes covered with rabbit fur). I suppose he thought he could use "Mockcat" as a decoy. It didn't work, so he hasn't ventured back again.





We currently use one of those Banfield Vet offices inside a PetSmart. When I take him in, he prefers to sit in the shopping cart -- in the top shelf where I would normally rest my purse -- and the vet has no problem examining him and administering shots, as long as Bart is "hiding" in the basket. I suppose that's the best camo he can come up with under the circumstances.
Reply:This story about my cat may seem awful but please be assured he was not harmed in anyway. And I asked the vet for advice afterward.





My cat, who died from a tumor, slept in my tumble-dryer once, I put some clothes in not realizing that he was in there and I switched it on and I heard thump thump thump. When I opened the door a very fuzzy cat jumped out. He was OK, not injuries, but he never slept in there again. One of my cats I have now loves sleeping in the bath or sink.
Reply:We had one that liked to sleep on top of the engine (under the hood) in my mother's Buick until the one time she didn't get out when we opened the car doors. Took off like a shot when the engine started and never went near the car again.

Reply:When my fiance and I have get done doing laundry, my 6 month old kitten will jump in the bin and fall fast asleep. I've tried moving him but as soon as I touch him he stretches out even farther. My 4 month old kitten finds a little opening in our blankets and goes to sleep. I will look for him all over the place, then unwrap the blanket and he falls out. I love my 2 little guys. They sleep in the weirdest places.
Reply:My cat will sleep in our girls stuffed animals toy box.He does that because he blends right in.So the girls never knows he is there.
Reply:I have two cats, a boy %26amp; a girl, both fixed. My boy cat loves to sleep under things like blankets %26amp; clothes. We'll often see a lump under our comforter on the bed %26amp; we automatically know it's our boy cat. My girl cat likes to sleep in our arms, being held like a baby. Maybe she likes the sound of our hearts beating, I'm not sure. It's fun to watch them, cats are definitely a good source of amusement, like you said.
Reply:To cute. I bet you never stop laughing at your house.





My 4 cats are nuts. I love them so much.





Last week one of mine was on top of the curtain rode sound a sleep. He was falling and used his back paws to grab the bar and fell back a sleep. His butt was between the seam peeking out and his head was above the bar so you could see his nose and ears above the material. ( He had never climbed my curtains before)





I had one sleeping under the bathroom sink in the vanity and when I reached for a towel after my bath I flipped a sleeping cat to the floor. I screamed not knowing he could open and close the door to the vanity. He looked up at me like i was nuts and fell back to sleep where I had flipped him.

Reply:our youngest cat who is 2 years old (3 soon) loves to sleep under the blanket, tries to get under shirts or something that he can be covered, wheter you're wearing it or not. he also likes to get into small places in our closet, under our bed, but he doesn't realize that at 13lbs.... he's a little too big to hide...
