Where's that cat?
The latest post was put up by librarian and cat-mum Laura Woods under her Twitter handle WoodsieGirl. It's a picture of her back garden. And while it certainly looks like there's no cat in the image, we promise you that Laura's black cat Samson is hiding in it somewhere.
Can you spot him?
Congratulations if you did. But don't beat yourself up if you didn't. This game of 'Where's Samson?' isn't easy. Cats are expert hiders!
23-year-old cat lover Tom, who uses the Twitter handle GrandTomcat, was the first person to post a picture of Samson's hiding place.
See? Samson was crouched down in the long grass, just like one of his big cat ancestors!
There were a few fails from other cat hunters. One user posted what he thought was Samson hiding behind a tree. But, as Laura pointed out, it was actually an old milk crate. Another person got an upside-down bucket confused with the top of Samson's head.
Why do cats hide?
Cats love a good game of hide and seek. It taps into their instinct as hunters and predators. How often has your furry friend leapt out from behind the sofa to launch a surprise attack? The little rascal.
Some cats use hiding space to feel safe and secure, especially in a new environment. But prolonged periods of isolation and hiding can be a sign of anxiety. They can also interfere with eating, drinking, and toilet habits. Speak to a vet for more advice.
