Years ago, I was living in a small apartment with a large cat. When he wanted to be alone, he would go under a bookcase and I'd pretend I didn't see him, and instruct anyone else who might come over not to see him either. It was funny, because he came to believe that he was wearing an invisibility cloak when he was under the bookcase, and would even run under there sometimes when he thought he was in trouble.
