Adventures in pet sitting

I've been dropping by to feed someone's cats while they are on vacation. Three of them are friendly but the fourth one has been making a point of avoiding me since I petted it while it was in its hiding closet.

Today I was petting the other three when something nudged my leg. I absently petted it, then realized I could see the other three. Looked down to see a happy cat who on actually seeing my face scuttled off to hide under a chair and stare at me with giant cocaine eyes until I left. I think it thought I was someone else.

Dear god. How could you not realize that when in a Hiding Closet, one is obviously Hidden and thus invisible and untouchable? The outrage!
