As any cat owner will tell you the feline¹ of the species is the most cunning and manipulative of all household pets.

猫主人会告诉你，猫是最狡猾、最折腾人的宠物。

However, as these amazing series of photographs show, cats are able to hide in the strangest possible places for no apparent reason.

但这些精彩的照片表明，它们会莫名的躲在陌生的角落里。

Some of the cats have hidden in a variety of boxes, baskets and even a kettle.

它们躲在各种盒子、篮子甚至水壶里。

One kitten even laid itself out inside the gutter² of a house enjoying some afternoon sunshine.

一只小猫甚至躺在水槽里享受午后的阳光。

So if your cat happens to go missing, before photocopying³ dozens of notices and plastering them over the neighbourhood, maybe a quick search around the house in the most obscure corner might work.

要是你的猫不见了，别急着在附近贴寻猫启事，也许它正在房子周围的某个神秘的角落里呢。
