Or inside the furniture? I've had cats wriggle up through a hole in the bottom lining of a couch or a bed's box spring.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yep.

Because books.
If there's a toy or some food he really likes, I'd sit in roughly the middle of the house with it and let it get quiet -- i.e. leave all the doors and cabinets open, but stop walking around or calling him. Just chill, and in the quiet maybe he'll get curious and come out to see what's up.

If you don't think he got into the garage and he doesn't seem to be in the kitchen or dining room, maybe it wasn't him you heard - I hear neighbor's cats meowing piteously outside m y house way more than I hear my own. The most likely place for him to hide would be back in the room he's used to, I'd think.

Cat (and I was lying about the Houdini) just strolled by me on the way to his room, which YAY, but also damnit, because now I don't know where his hiding place was.

I am picturing him giving you a little cat smirk a he walked by.

But if he came out -- especially now, being so new to you -- chances are whenever he's hiding there again, he'll come out, too.

This is his second day in your house? He's wise in the feline arts.

They did warn me he was a very smart cat. I will have to remember this when it is vet time.

Pretty much, yes.
