They love to scream about ‘discretion’ when it comes to things like this.

Mine would scoot through the apartment at speeds faster than any of us half-hungover college kids could catch whenever the outside door would open, and somehow end up under my bed. It would take a bit to coax the cat out, and then I’d eventually have to fess up to the neighbor’s little kids when they’d start calling for it. I miss having the little black ball of warmth cuddled up on my shirt.
