Natural leaders of their homes, cats typically create a clear hierarchy not only with their human carers but also with their other pet friends. This specific case highlights a funny attempt at inter-species cooperation—or maybe coercion. Presumably avoiding some kind of parental intrusion, the cat decided the house dog would be a great makeshift concealing screen. The scene that results is a masterwork of failed stealth, with the dog faithfully resting his head on the cat in what must have seemed to be a perfect concealing technique to our feline acquaintance. Actually, though, the reality is far from the optical illusion the cat was trying for. The basic weakness in this concealment effort reflects a typical pet misconception: certainly we cannot see them if they cannot see us. For the cat, unfortunately, the dog's attempt at concealment simply made the hiding place more conspicuous and endlessly more entertaining. Indeed, dear cat, we can readily see you and your canine friend isn't helping things along. Generally speaking, if you can see us, we can probably see you as well; this idea tends to elude our feline companions very frequently.
