Considering the size of this house, we kitties should have all sorts of havens from human attention! Sadly, that is not the case. There are few spots where we can have total peace and privacy. Above was one of my favorite spots… but then the humans got a new mattress and box springs. Plus my human chases us out from under the bed if she finds us there, with the lame excuse, “What if we had to evacuate? I couldn’t get to you!” Actually, not getting to me is kind of the point of a haven, isn’t it?
This haven — underneath the armoire where the exercise equipment is stored — is not that great. It’s all wood and not particularly comfortable. My human knows we don’t use it very often because she has only found cat toys under here a couple of times. Plus, if we had to “evacuate,” it would be pretty easy to reach down and grab us.
This week’s theme was pretty depressing. It is just a reminder of what I don’t have!

You encouraged me to do the Caturday Photo Hunt first time Sparkle, thank you!! paw pats, Savannah
Não importa a escolha do lugar, o importante é que esteja confortável! Beijos!

At least you have a bed you can get under. My human has what she calls a low clearance bed frame. No one can even squeeeze under it . We used to hide in the closets until the human found ways to lock them shut. She is not all bad though, she put a nice snuggly throw on the bed for us to sleep on. She muttered something about trying to save the comforter.

I once hid inside a box spring for five hours. Glogirly was positively frantic when she couldn’t find me. She thought I’d gotten outside…even had all the neighbors looking for me in the bushes.
It was Haven.

HA HA HA HA HA! My Human LOVED your post today because she is glad she is not the only one whose “mattress-undercarriage” looks (well, looked) like this! The Kitties Who Came Before made a good start, but *I* have really put the finishing touches that made it a masterpiece. I actually crawl up INTO the box springs! She’ll NEVER get me!!
“Evacuate the house”? That IS kinna lame. Yer Mom needs someone to produce better excuses.
Fortunately, we are on the job!
1. A Hurricane might come.
2. I heard about wolves in the area.
3. Bears, yeah bears too.
4. What if all the soda bottles exploded. HUH? What would we do them?
5. Meteors!
6. Ans what about volcanoes?
7. Dont forget the wolves…
8. Gamma Ray Bursts from distant stars. We saw about those on the TV.
9. Giant Rabid RATS!
10. Worst, Mutant chainsaw-weilding ZOMBIE ALIENS. They’re evrywhere according to Sammy (The Meezers)
TW was gonna get rid of her holey box spring but couldn’t do it to me. Think of it this way, at least you have a home not like the cats at Cat Haven in LA where our friend worked.
IT is important to be able to find you kitties. The publicist worries about this all the time with the Farm cats and fire season
Our mommy worries about evacuating too so it spoils a lot of our havens. They’re spoil sports.
Sparkle, your human needs to put a comfy bed or mat underneath that armoire so you will have the purrfect haven!
That was a very impressive haven you made for yourself under the bed.
I’m sorry you lost your UTB haven, but the one under the armoire looks pretty good, though it could use a fleece throw or something. We have lots of havens around here. I go up high on top of the fridge and up on my spytower and Oja goes under and behind stuff, so I guess we are pretty lucky.

Your under the bed haven, looks much like mine. me too has shredded the stuff they ours on the bottom.
Mes thinks yous probably has one that your Mommy does not know about, cuase if yous out it here, she would knows.

Oh wow that UTB haven looks heavenly!
Awww sweetie! Your mattress haven looked so cool!
We can’t hide under the bed either because they have a bed frame with storage :-/
Purrs
You need a box with a lock on it!
That looks like the purrfect secret haven!
Poor Sparkle, your life is fraught!!! xx
You know the Woman never thought of that. I think she’d just stay with us and not evacuate if we were under the bed…
I would have to agree with you. The whole point of a “Haven” is it is “FREE OF HUMANS!”
Love, Cody
Your under-the-mattress hidey-hole looks really cozy! A makeshift kitty hammock 🙂 Mummy is just worried about you in case something happens… she loves you <3
Oh you poor thing…(snark)
Sparkle, you poor kitty. We have a big house too but know how important it is to have a good hidey-hole or two. We used to have more than we do now but the human’s remodeled our kitchen and eliminated two super ones. Come check out http://www.thecatonmyhead.com “Cats in Hiding” for some suggestions.

Mowzers, now we’re depressed. We don’t really have a haven either. Sure, we’ve got that plane, but it’s a TOY house, not a cuddle haven. *sigh* Maybe if they bought us one of those tunnels…?
I know you are a happy easygoing kitty! I think our beans always want our company by their sides! Maybe a peaceful nap at the sofa…all together?

Your mommy should have saved the old mattress & put it in another room,say, like the should-be-catio! Have a great weekend!
I really don’t hide much..my favorite way to sleep is to snuggle up to one of my human beans..I do like your under bed hideaway though!!
Since I have had to evacuate twice – I can’t blame the human for thinking of it…
Those humans! We can’t even get under our bed because there are so many boxes under there. Boohoohoo!
Well at least you have somewhere to do some haven hiding!
We used to have an under the bed haven like that. Mom decided to tear it all off so we couldn’t hide in there anymore. Humans…..the ruin everything.

WE love the under the bed haven too. But we have ripped it all apart so no more place to relax. Great picture of you under the bed. Take care.
Why don’t you ask your Mom to put a blankie under there for you to sit on.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Are you kidding me? I think your havens from humanoids are PURRfect!
A Haven for Birds
You could always come here and have haven with ME… *putting on best cuddle face*
Indeed that’s not the ideal place ! You should have added something yellow and participate in my Saturday’s photo hunting here ! that’s not depressing at all, lol !
