Mine does!
Yesterday morning, I thought I heard a mournful, short meow near the sofa. Leo, though a big Maine Coon, has a wimpy little cry. Since his back was toward me, I just thought it was him.
Around 8 PM, I sat on the sofa, and Leo got on my lap. I heard that sound again, but realized it wasn't Leo. Then I heard it again. There's no way my cats could get under that sofa, nor really behind it. I lifted the sofa, but saw nothing. Then the meow AGAIN. I then realized that a cat was INSIDE of the sofa, where the scrim covers on the bottom (which was not loose, etc.) I called DH, and he cut the scrim, and Gemma popped out! On Friday, I had to remove the cushion cover for washing, and left the big foam rubber cushion propped up, againt the arm. I noticed that Gemma and Kara were playing in that area over the weekend, but thought nothing of it (I kept the cushion that way, as it made a nice wedge pillow to lay on while I was sick). We think that Gemma somehow got down between the arm and the platform of the sofa!
The funny thing was, I was just wondering where Gemma was! I was outside, enjoying the fresh air (I felt a lot better outside), so I didn't notice the cats much. Every time I say, ""I wonder where Gemma is? I haven't seen her all day", it means another Gemma-chasing adventure. It happened last month, when she had slipped out the door in the dark the day before, and I didn't notice until the next day. It took a week of searching to get her back!
