The cat simply couldn't tear his eyes away, as if he were completely captivated by the sofa. He would also sometimes approach it and meow for no apparent reason.
A peculiar obsession
This went on for a whole week. The strange thing was, this behaviour was completely out of character for him. Finally, his owner decided to investigate. She leaned down to look inside the sofa bed, and that's when she got a fright. In the darkness, two eyes were staring right back at her.
She couldn't believe it. A black cat was lying in the space where the sofa bed's legs fold up. So that explained her cat's week-long obsession! The woman was astonished, but mostly she wondered how the little cat had managed to survive for a whole week in such a tight spot.
The plot thickens
Internet users were the ones to answer her question. They suggested that the stowaway had probably snuck out for food and water whenever the resident cat was asleep. The owner didn't know whether to be amazed or to laugh.
She posted a photo of her discovery on the social media site Reddit, and the post quickly went viral. Commenters urged her to check if the cat was injured or dehydrated. They also suggested it could be a neighbour's cat that had come to "spy" on her own pet. The mystery remains unsolved!
