My cats never hid.  Why should they?  They own the house. ;)
When I first brought tiny Mimi (RB) home, she hid under my bed, and
other furniture for a day or two, then came out, and started running
things right away.  Stinky never hid from day one.

Sammy likes to crawl under the bed and get on top of the storage boxes
there. Amelia likes to get down behind the couch. We still haven't found
Tabitha's hiding place. When she goes into hiding she if untraceable!
We've scoured the entire house and still haven't found where she gets
off to.

Djoser's favorite hiding place is underneath the big, heavy old tv
console. (It is defunct but does good at holding modern tv and vcr,
etc.) It has a 6 inch high space under the main body of it. That was
Djoser's home when we first brought him home scared of anything and
everything. He still retreats there every so often.

Between the back of my desk and the kitchen stove is a folded gateleg
table with a tablecloth hanging down. Way back in the corner by the
stove under the table is Amber's hidey-hole; reached from under the
desk. Once he retreats to that hole, there is no getting him out for
hairball remedy! He hates that stuff and hides if I even think about
giving him some!

Sheba goes into my closet and hides on top of the box under my
clothes. (I started putting my clothes in zipper bags to keep the
bottoms from being so hairy).

Robin doesn't have a hidey hole; he isn't scared of anything and
doesn't seem to need time alone.

A few years ago, Amber, in particular would hide under the bed and
sometimes up in the box springs. One time he was in the springs when i
sat on the bed. Talk about a strangled squeal! After that i arranged
my shoe boxes and under-bed boxes so they can't get under there
anymore.

Vino likes to hide in high up places.  He sleeps on top of our wardrobe in
the bedroom, there isn't that much room between the top and the ceiling.  We
also have a tall shelf in the living room on top of which he likes to hide.
Often I'll be looking for him and happen to look up and there he is, doing
his gargoyle impression by hanging his head and paws over the edge :-)

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered
in fur!

Frank doesn't exactly hide, but when he "vants to be alone" he retires to
the top of the bookcase. It's a good hiding place if you don't know about
it. One time, I was away overnight and my Mum went to feed the cats in the
morning. She looked high and low for Frank but couldn't find him, and was
getting worried that he had slunk out the door when she came in. It turned
out she hadn't looked high enough. When she finally looked up on top of the
bookcase, there was Frank, watching her looking for him. Sometimes, when he
really wants peace, he will go behind the books on a shelf.

Nikki has her own personal black hole somewhere. She brought it with her
when we moved. There is no other explanation for how she can disappear so
completely. Only the sound of kibble hitting the floor will bring her out of
it.

Princess likes to hide in the top shelf of my closet. To get there she has
to negotiate a series of shelves on the end of the closet, then crawl across
a bunch of hangers holding my (once) good clothes, then she makes herself at
home on top of a bunch of old sweatshirts.  She does this at the first sign
of a stranger in the house.

Penny the Cat sometimes tries to hide behind my shoes but she's too big and
ultimately too nosy to hide for long.  :-)

I wish I could tell you, but only big Pericles the red tabby Maine
Coon ever bothers to hide and I've never managed to find him yet. To
make contact with him I have to go to the kitchen and make the
appropriate food preparation noises and then he magically appears from
his chosen dimension.

A quick trip up to the Mothership, perhaps?

The late beloved Isadora was extremely fond of the below counter level
kitchen cabinet where I kept my mixing bowls and baking pans. It
wasn't really a hiding place as such, as I knew quite well she was in
there--I was always the one who had to open the cupboard door for her.
Of course, she liked ALL cupboards, the cupboard under the kitchen
sink, the linen cupboard, anything with closed doors
She also loved my laundry basket when it got nice and full. Plenty of
softness to lie on, and a draught-free hiding place, too. As a kitten
though she also liked to hide under my barcalounger in the living
room. When I got home from a three week trip last september, I found
her hiding in the under works of the chair.

Pan doesn't seem to need to hide, and Francesca, my  little newcomer
is pretty bold, too.
