This is our Lottie. She has a penchant for hiding. The first day she was with us, she spent the first few hours hiding behind our sofa. Now, every time she gets frightened, she hides there. She was there the whole week we had builders in painting the windows. And she was there this morning during the thunderstorm.
I don't much care for plain old rain, but I do love a thunderstorm. Lottie, however, does not. This is how I found her (behind the sofa). She let me stroke her head but she didn't come out till it was over.

Other times, she likes to explore dark spots for potential hidey holes. Here she is poking round my shelves...

And when she's happy, she likes to sit on top of my work table and look out the window. Here she is with my apples....

I've had cats for nearly three years now, and I can't imagine how I ever got by without them!
