The only thing that rivals a cat's cuteness is its ability to climb and hide. I swear, some felines are determined to set paw on every surface of their house. Whether we're talking about a ceiling lamp or the ventilation system, the bravest furry explorers have their eyes on it.
We at Bored Panda decided to honor these adventures and give them the attention they deserve. So we compiled a list of photos that cat owners took the moment they realized James Cook and George Mallory have nothing on their pet. Scroll down and check them out!

Cats are naturally drawn to small, tight spaces such as baskets, boxes, and nooks — it's where the popular phrase "If I fits I sits" comes from.
"Being both predators and prey, enclosed spaces provide a place to hide and keep safe, and are perfect for ambushing unsuspecting prey," Lucy Hoile, a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) who specializes in these animals told Bored Panda.

Dad started putting in new toilet. Walked away for a few minutes and came back to this
The weird one! 4 years ago
the cat.... oh hey um I'm checking the toilet to see the weight well I see it can hold me I will be leaving now.
Trying to make their furballs comfortable, people (and businesses) began building them comfy indoor condos, towers, and entire castles where the critters can both take a nap and play around. "Enclosed cat houses help reduce stress and keep cats happy," Hoile explained.
The biggest and poshest of these "structures" can cost hundreds of dollars but a bigger price tag doesn't necessarily mean more purrs.
"They needn’t be expensive, many cats prefer a cardboard box over a conventional cat house. Provide the right size for your cat to fit snuggly inside, make sure it is easily accessible and there are enough to go around if there is more than one cat," Hoile said.

My cat got stuck today
Jo87 4 years ago
My cat chased a squirel and got stuck 40ft up a huge, bushy tree. We finally found him after 5 days, cherry picker lifts were needed. Unfortunately, zero lessons have been learned and Carlos still chases squirrels (who taunt him, mercilessly, I may add 😂)

Seriously? All (healthy) cats are excellent climbers, it's the getting down that's the problem. That's why the whole "firemen rescue ANOTHER cat in a tree🙄" is such a clichéd stereotype.

Congratulations! Your clean towels have now been re-stocked with the legally-required amount of cat hair
However, a tall and sturdy cat tree might save your home decor. "A cat's territory incorporates all three dimensions and if they can access the space up high (by any means possible), they will," Hoile added.
"Being up high means they can survey their territory from the safest point. Providing tall cat furniture will encourage them to do this appropriately instead of the scaling curtains and bookcases."
Even if your cat's claws cause damage, you can't really blame the animal for it. Their bodies are made to climb!

That kitty was having a blast, and became so happy that mom wanted to play too. That's one of my cat's favorite ways to play: through cloth. For example I put my hand under a blanket and move it around, and she excitedly hunts it above the blanket 😸

My sister's deaf cat sometimes gets inside the couch. Once she was so well hidden that even though we turned the couch upside down , we couldn'd find her. She was sleeping and dead as she is , could not hear us calling. My sister lost years of her life as she thought she slipped out and got lost!

There was that time when I was looking for my cat everywhere and could not find her! I'd checked all the wardrobes and cupboards, anything that could fit a mouse, the cat was nowhere to be found. She could not be outside as all the doors and windows were closed since the last time w'd seen her. After some time she showed herself. This happened a few times. Finally I found her hiding the same way - hidden in the back of the sofa, she was getting there trough a small hole at the bottom.

Mine routinely will wander under the couch if you have the foot rest up. N proceed to get stuck when you put it down not knowning he is under there n only finding out when he paws at it from the inside or baps your foot when you walk past....after 20+ times youd THINK hed learn not to go under but NOOOOooooo

My cat used to wiggle inside that box under a couch, I don't know how, she was tiny I guess, and I didn't mind until I discovered she literally shredded all the boards and wooden parts inside the couch and also ripped textile to shreds. I didn't even look inside until I had to clean it and it was a nasty surprise. Since then, luckily, she grew bigger so she can't get into my new couch.

I had a cat do that - get into a dropped ceiling and wander around on the tiles. The thing is that the ceiling was very lightly hung - too lightly by a couple of amateurs. The cat fixed that, though. She brought the ceiling - well, about half of it - down onto the floor. That's how we discovered she'd been in the ceiling.

When they're really small, kittens can hide in kleenex boxes with the tissues. How do I know this? We lost a kitten for six hours. Until the crying started, and there was a tug of war to get a tissue. Tiny paws with tiny claws were grabbing them as they were pulled out.

My cat got stuck in the wall on Christmas day.
The basement kitchenette ceiling was left open when it was built a few months ago so he climbed onto the cupboards and into the ceiling before falling into the wall.

I was once doing some work on our house and had to enter the crawl space below the floor. Each time I came out checked for the cat and closed the trapdoor. When I'd finished however, no cat to be found, went back into the crawl space and found her in the furthest tightest parts. Shouted I'd found her, at which point she walked passed me and out, my wife telling me she was safe. Me on the other hand stuck, unable to turn or crawl back; had to call a friend to remove some floorboards to release me. Still trying to live this down after 20yrs.

When my husband and I were first married our first fur baby together was a rescue cat named Riot. So named because the trouble she got into was a "laugh riot" as my mother-in-law would say. We lived in an apartment that sat on the edge of a horse farm. Workers were repairing a water filter that was in the wall and left it open. Riot disappears and I freak out because she wasn't an outdoor kitty and I had been bringing groceries in and I thought she got out. My husband spent two hours searching the entire horse farm in a summer rain storm. He was not coming in until he found her. I'm making a flyer on the computer when I hear something in the wall. Riot pops her head out of the tiny hole the workers left open that I didn't think a cat could fit into. She yawns and jumps out onto my lap. My reaction? "You little sh*t."

"Cat hiding under a bed sheet"
Cat R 4 years ago
Our cat loves changing the sheets so much, we have to lock her out of the bedroom. She's 16 pounds of pure muscle and will NOT move. Had a much smaller cat years ago that also loved this activity. He'd come out from under each sheet or blanket on his own to be ready for the next one, so he was fun to make the bed around. He also loved waiting for daddy to get out of the shower. My husband would put the towel over his head and shoulders, and Petey would jump up and it would look like he was drying my husband's hair when he'd move the towel from side to side. So cute, and every single shower for Petey's whole life, 18 years, until close to the end. We have a VHS tape somewhere that we can't watch now but do have a photo. RIP, buddy. Miss you so much still all these years later.

Cats just love to help change the bedsheets! Hiding under the fitted bottom sheet, chasing the moving fabric, so much fun!

I have to be careful when I'm putting things in the attic so my cat doesn't follow me up the ladder.

Yep, child proof locks work great. We lived in a mobile home early in our marriage. The doors had a two-three inch gap underneath for airflow. When we got our first cat, Alex, my husband didn't want him in our bed, so closed him outside the room. Alex just reached under the door and twanged the doorstop. A rolled up towel or a pillow did nothing to stop it. My husband said that if he does it one more time, he'd rip the doorstop off. Well, no more doorstop. Also, all of our cats over 37 years of marrige have slept with us, including Alex. Without the doorstop, he foud numerous other ways to make annoying, sleep depriving noise including meowing loudly, donking the kitchen cupboards, and twanging the doorstop in the other bathroom. RIP, smartypants. Miss you still.

My besy friend's cat opens windows and sliding doors. It's problematic.

You haven't lived until you have two or three very interested cats watching you and riding the waves from an old style waterbed. One time my husband got suddenly much heavier. I opened my eyes to see our 16 pound Maine C**n looking down at me from over his shoulder, looking like he was wondering what we were doing and could he play too. We laughed until we cried. RIP, JB. Miss you so much.

It is also a strange name for a cat…but I think especially for a car.

Based on the books left on the shelf, kitty wants to learn to understand what the human is saying.

Too scary. Cats die in washers and dryers when whoever is doing the laundry forgets to check. Sorry to be downer.

Gosh, do you mean that you kept it and gave it a home? Hope so, 'cause it looks really sweet (and well-fed, LOL) We had a cat that looked like this and we called her Miss Piggy!

Number one rule of having pets, especially cats; lock them in another room while doing any kind of work on the house. They always want to get up in there.

Honestly, how does this happen without anyone noticing? A cat can suffocate like this.

We've had it happen twice, once was the freezer. Thank God her brother was meowing and scratching so we knew something was up. It had only been a couple of minutes. I'm still not sure how we didn't notice. Maybe turned away to talk to hubby or set something on a counter?

At least the manager was apologising to you for almost losing your cat, and not demanding that you pay damages 🤣

Clearly accumulated, it says it's a big cat, and they kept him in the bathroom. Sounds like accumulation to me

This is why you should always check your washer and dryer before using, if you are a cat parent!

Oh my god. This happened to one of our cats when she was a kitten. I got a call from my mom while I was at a sleepover, saying (while basically sobbing) that she’s killed the cat. She did NOT kill the cat, but she thought so. Apparently the dryer had been on for five minutes and she heard the cat meowing. She was dragging her hind legs on the floor and my mom thought she had… uh… cooked her.

I always check my washer and dryer before filling and setting. You never know where these pesky little pussies can be hiding.

My neighbor and I were chatting in the hallway next to the front door. The guest bathroom door was on my right. My neighbor started grinning and pointed down to the bottom of the bathroom door where there was a paw, upside down, swooping at the air. I knelt down and poked the center of the paw. She stopped for a second. I poked it again and she meowed like "OMG! I found something!!"

So, yeah, thought no way my adult cat would fit in this one spot. Yes, she can. How, I don't know, but she sort of liquified herself to get out. She shouldn't be able to fit there, but she did. And now she knows she can, she'll go back over and over and over and over....

If a cat owns you you have entertainment, love, warmth, purrs for the rest of their lives - may be even yours!

Once, one of my cats got stuck behind the washing machine. We’ve also found our cat in the dryer, sleeping on the warm laundry. We have also found him on top of shelf near the ceiling, after he climbed onto a counter, then the fridge, then the shelf.

There are so many cat-permeable buildings. Also: people need to stop doing construction or remodeling projects with cats loose in their houses. And stop leaving plastic bags available to your pets.
Carol Emory 4 years ago (edited)
My neighbors cat loved the hugely gigantic plastic bags you get in the home decor stores. She would hide underneath them in the middle of the living room floor waiting for someone to walk by so she could swipe a paw at someone's foot. She was never left unsupervised with them and she knew better than to climb into them. The fact they made a crinkly rustling sound was a plus for her. And since home improvement projects can take weeks...it's not fair to keep a cat cooped up in a tiny room or the bathroom for that long. Cats will get into spaces they don't belong. Most of the time they can get themselves out or you can get them out without having to call emergency services. But emergency services will come and help rescue the cat if necessary.

Had my second foster cat hide in a totally inaccessible spot behind my prized built-in floor to almost ceiling bookcases. She climbed to the top and then either dropped or fell down to the floor. I had to have my SIL come over and saw a hole into my solid wood bookcase to be able to get her out. It turned into a favorite hiding place for the newly acquired fosters that I've had to block it off to prevent them from going back there again. Goobers.
