A hidey hole is somewhere your cat goes 10 minutes before you need to leave for the vet's. You cannot find them. That is not just an expression; it's a fact. You CAN NOT find them. By definition. You turn the house upside down, look in places that weren't even places a half hour before, you rattle the bag of treats, you place the other cats under a bright light and give them the third degree. Nothing. They're in the hidey hole.
I probably should consult with Stephen Hawking, for I suspect hidey holes have something to do with the space-time continuum, whatever that is. Hidey holes may actually exist only in concepts of theoretical physics, but cats, being far superior to humans, move freely in and out of them.
Here kitty, kitty!
If you could find it, there'd be lots of odd socks in there too.
ReplyDeleteTaken there by the cat, no doubt.
DeleteLol !
ReplyDeleteI have a few hidey-holes myself, you know....for those days you'd rather not face the world.
I'm still smiling at your kitty, who surely decends from a long line of Southerns :)

Make that Southerners :)
ReplyDeleteWe have hidey holes up here in Canada-probably goes way back to the Brits who came early on.
ReplyDeleteHidey holes are most often found within black holes right? Or vice versa?
ReplyDeleteChildren often have hidey holes -- not for their stuff but for themselves -- mine was under the shrubbery in the back yard.
ReplyDeleteAlways heard that word as "Hidey ho." Like "hello neighbor, but instead say "Hidey," or, "Hidey ho."
ReplyDeleteAs a kid we would heal talk of "Bob Tales." Wonder how that got started.
Interesting..
