A cartoon of a grey Scottish fold cat hiding at the back of a clothes drawer.
Marseille (Chișinău, Moldova) completely vanished the moment she detected the faintest hint that her human was going to take her outside in her cat backpack. The idea was she might get to see snow for the first time, but she went from meowing all day and being a lap cat to being silent and hidden. Her human was very spooked and hunted everywhere for her. Eventually she was found behind their clothes in the closet drawer.

News from the Black Cat Ranch: the human was collecting Mercy's (California, USA) food dish from the bedroom, leaving the door open slightly behind them.

Maisy (Cambridgeshire, UK) has been caught running a secret storage facility under her owner’s TV unit. A recent "raid" using a long stick revealed the extent of her collection, uncovering a stash of toy mice, vintage sweet wrappers, and assorted household trinkets she’s been diligently stowing away. While the owner was surprised by the sheer volume of the collection, Maisy appears to be monitoring the recovery efforts closely. Authorities (the owner) suggest that while the "goldmine" has been cleared, the local feline shows no signs of ending her hoarding career.
