I thought it would be fun to know what strange places your cats have been found.

Polly is very fond of opening cupboards. But I have never found her in them. She likes to get ontop of the kitchen cabinets, and on top of the fridge. (but I bet LOTS of cats like that)

The ODDEST place we have found Polly yet has been IN the freezer. Yes. In the freezer.

Jordan got up in the middle of the night to get something to drink. The freezer door was WIDE open (thank goodness) and he shut it as he was passing. All of a sudden you hear a UMPHF - SQUAK kind of noise, and the door won't shut. He turns on the light to investigate, It's Polly.

All i have to say is thank goodness there was a large turkey in the freezer. That was the only thing btween her and the door, and is what made it impossible to shut the door in the first place.

ACK!

How about you?

When we moved in to our house Rocky was pretty freaked. The first week I couldn't find him anywhere. I finally opened the door to the utility closet, which is under the stairs, and found him nestled, sleeping under the bottom stairs.
Also if you leave the door to the attic open they love running around up there!

At our old house Megan and some of her neighbor friends were fond of climbing up a trellis I built over the front porch onto the roof. We often saw them peering down at us through the skylights. Molly, being clawless, missed out on that fun.

Reilly likes to rip into the box springs of beds and sleep in the lining.

Freckles likes to sleep on plastic bags! I've also found Bob sitting on the toilet seat. (Now if I can only train him to use it!)

I found Mouse just recently IN my pillow... I picked it up and thought it was a bit heavy for a pillow and soon I see our little kitten trying to squirm out of the pillow. Silly kitten

Trout does that too, it does wonders for the bed


A few times I've also found her in the closet crammed in where the hangers hang ..resting on the hangers that had clothes on them.

I found Zissou asleep in the fridge once too... she couldn't have been in there long though, my roommate is a constant fridge-fairy-checker. I found my sister's cat sitting on a record that was playing at the time, going round and round in circles and about ruining my record player. Zissou also got trapped under the stove once, it has a front panel that just comes off and she had somehow gotten behind it.

When she was littler I found her in a boot. She probably couldn't fit in it now, but she does still love stinky feet and shoes.

However, this tops it all, though it's not my cat:

This happened just the other night. I was sleeping when I heard a weird sound from above me. I looked and Scratch had her claws (back feet too) stuck on the screen of my window! She looked like Spider-Man.

Places I've found them asleep - Down in the bottom of the clothes hamper, in the bath tub, in drawers, inside of bags, in my purse, in a box full of stuffed animals (that one was so funny. I said "Look there's Thumpie! And they were like "which one?" lol), inside of bedroom slippers, in a jacket pocket (yep the last 2 were kittens), under the bird feeder, in the bird bath, in the bed under the covers with head on pillow, inside a pair of jeans, in the sink, in the trash can, Stinkie once fell asleep while playing with a toy (head laying on it, feet inside of it with the ball), in a bucket, in the litter box (asleep), under the paper shredder inside the basket/trash can, under the fitted sheet of the bed, in the clothes dryer (lid was open), ...

Places I've found them as they were meowing their "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" meow - in the closet (with paws under the door as if to say "See! I'm in here!"), in the cabinet under the trash can, in the clothes hamper, under the covers of the bed (she just couldn't remember how she got in there to find her way out lol).

I'm telling you, I could go on and on and on. I've got strange cats.
And hey, the probably get it from their mommy.

Conner likes to jump up at all the sweaters and coats I have hanging on a wall mounted hanging mirror coat holder thingy. He swings like Tarzan and acts crazy. Well, Last week I couldn't find him anywhere which was really scary since I live in a studio apt and their aren't many places to hide. I was nearly in tears when I hear a sleepy meow from within the hanging sweaters. You know those little pouches over the stomach of hooded sweaters?? Well He had somehow jumped into that and had made it his own personal hammock, lol. He was just a-swingin and a-sleepin. Too lazy to answer my calls until I was nearly frantically yelling, lol.

That reminds me! My old cat Flash (RIP) got locked in one of my brother's room about ten years ago. She peed in the toybox!

The weirdest place i've ever found kitties before would be as follows: one in a flower pot, one stuck through a chickenwire fence, and 3 floating in a water puddles. These were kitties i found after a horrible flood in my neighborhood one weekend a few years ago. I took them in and fostered all 5....they all flourished except one
(she had a severe case of feline herpes- meds didn't help and she passed on). I adopted one- abilene, my sister adopted one- drama, and the others we had altared and found wonderful homes for.
