Cats will hide in the most unusual places.
My grandmother had a part Siamese and Russian Blue cat. Her name was Tammy. Tammy loved to open a closet door. Once in the closet, she would get the lid off a shoe box. She would ideally jump in the shoe box and get the top back on. My poor grandmother was frantic, searching high and low for her cat. My grandmother called the neighbor. She looked and looked and finally, by some luck, found Tammy in the shoe box—next time, grandma knew where to look. Tammy also would hide under her neighbor’s porch now and then.
I had a pure-breed Siamese cat. I got her when she was eight years old. Her name was Sugar. When I first got Sugar, I could not find her. I would look all over the house to no avail. After a month, I finally found her secret spot. She managed to get in the Christmas decoration box. One day I was walking by the box, and out popped Sugars head; the jig was up. Sugar found a new spot. My father was reaching into the linen closet for a bath towel. My father was shocked to have touched something with fur on it. Sugar never hid in the linen closet after that.
I got another cat that was part Siamese. Her name is Cali. I was looking for Cali. I was not looking high enough. I found Cali looking down at me atop the kitchen cupboard. She looked at me like it took you long enough to see me,
Cats love to hide from us now and then. Of course, hiding is a necessary hunting and survival skill in the wild. I hope you will find your cat quickly.
