We don’t really get it, but good for her?
A viral TikTok video has been making the rounds, showing a cat’s hiding spot. With over 1.5 million likes and 7.1 million views, Internet users are treated with a puzzled owner showing his tabby cat named Lizzie in her new hiding spot.
Said area is underneath the curtain, which covers only half of her face. Defeats the purpose of hiding, don’t you think? Her lower body remains exposed!
"I don't get it, but I'm happy for her," her parent exclaims in the video. Honestly, we don’t either. According to Jenna Stregowski, RVT, Daily Paws' Pet Health and Behavior Editor, hiding is normal behavior for cats. They usually choose to hide only their heads. "Hiding, whether all or part of their body, is a way for a cat to feel safe and secure while at rest," Stregowski shared. "Plus, it can block out excess light if they're trying to sleep. In some cases, hiding the head is the cat's way of telling others that they need space."
