A Most Unlikely Hiding Place

A lot of you have been asking what the resident cats think of having a new kitten in the house, so this week, we’re answering that question.

Pierre: She’ll never find me in here!

Pierre: Aunt O was putting this together for Cousins Shep and Earl, but when she left the room, I found it on the kitchen table. What a perfect hiding place from that kitten.

Pierre: Everywhere I go, that kitten is there. On the bed where I like to sleep, on the sofa where I like to watch TV with the manpeep, in the window where I watch squirrels. Even on the cat tree. But not in here.

Pierre: Sure, I hiss at the kid sometimes, but it’s just to tell her not to crowd me so much. A cat just needs his space. Kitten-free space.

Pierre: There’s no way that kitten will come near these scary teeth. It’s a perfect hiding place. ย

    I think you are going to need a better hiding space, Pierre.

    dude – all we can say is that eventually they tend to grow out of the pesky stage (or you could get lucky and the shark will eat her)

    Pierre, that kitten likes you and sure seems able to find you. Maybe you can be friends. The kitten is growing like a weed. Have a good day.

    Oh Pierre! Such a horrible position to be in, wanting your privacy but there is a frantic kitten dogging your every step! But Cupcake is adorable times ten!

    HAH! She adores you, Pierre! You’re like a rock star to her. Eat it up since soon she’ll be big and hanging with Ashton and you’ll be all ho-hum to her.
