Imogen's Vanishing Act

Imogen is becoming a little more comfortable around the apartment. She lie down on the bed near me not long ago, which is a first. Since Friday, she has used the bed just as a passage from one side of the room to the other. She lie down for several minutes on a corner of the bedspread, though she kept hearing noises, so I don’t know how relaxed she was.

Then she saw the comforter at the foot of the bed. I think she may have realised then that it was not an integral part of the bed. And she found that she could, in fact, burrow under it. You may recall Hector’s disappearing act, when he first came to stay with me, when he slipped into the bathroom cabinet, closing the door behind him. Vanishing is a trait shared by all cats, but somehow, I think it is particularly practiced by black cats.

I may not see her again for a while…

  1. Yes, hiding is something cats do to comfort themselves. They also like to do it when they want to sleep.Good to hear she is getting more comfy with you and your place.

  2. I guess she figures that if she can't see you, you can't see her.

    1. She obviously has a gift for this sort of thing.

  6. Good for you Imogen. I never thought of it as a vanishing act every time Precious sleeps under the bed or on top in her bed tent. Make sense. Only here after 10 plus years you'd think she'd stop. Nice to see Imogen spreading her wings a bit.

  8. Smart girl! Saku likes to burrito himself into the blue and white towel on the sun room chair.
