Cats are notoriously aloof pets who often enjoy their alone time.
And that often means finding a discreet spot to curl up in – away from the eyes of owners keen to shower their furry friends with affection.
Now animal lovers who have caught on to their house cats’ habit of hiding have been snapping photos and sharing the results on Twitter using this hashtag: #spotthecat.
From nestling in a heap of laundry to disguising themselves in a group of cuddly toys, the kitties featured below will go to great lengths to avoid company.
You might even struggle to locate a few of them.
Good luck!
