Cleo the Persian cat needs a little more privacy, and this Instagram video from user @cleothecitykitty shows that she has found the perfect way to get it in her new spot. In the video, the fluffy white cat defends her latest hiding spot from her very curious mom. The on-screen caption reads, “My cat has a new hiding spot,” while the caption under the video says, “Get outta here mom!” — and her actions fit the captions perfectly.
Cat finds a perfect new hiding spot in cute video
The video opens with the cat in her new hiding spot, wedged between a window and the wall, tucked behind a sheer curtain, and she looks pretty sure no one can see her. Cleo’s mom gently pulls the curtain aside, revealing the cat sitting on the narrow ledge.
For a second, Cleo just stares, clearly not impressed that mom found her secret nook. But then, she extends her paw and pulls the curtain back in front of her face, leaving a single eye showing again.
Cats love snug spaces where they can watch everything from the shadows. A curtain over a windowsill gives the cat in this video the perfect spot to be a secret observer, and by closing the curtain with her paw, Cleo keeps that safe little space intact while still keeping an eye on her mom.
Viewers could not get enough of Cleo’s dramatic curtain grab. One person joked, “Can’t a beautiful kitten just have some peace?” while another wrote, “Cleo being cleo… super drama queen she is,” and a third commenter requested on the cat’s behalf, “Give me my privacy mum.” Many viewers were fond of the paw action, with one comment reading, “Love the way she pulls back the curtain.”
Someone wrote on the cat’s behalf again, “I’m hiding!!! Geez!” Meanwhile, a viewer even called her “Cleo the spy,” and it suits her, because in a few seconds of video, the cat shows that her new spot belongs to her and no one else.
