Peekaboo the tabby cat peeking out from behind a dark wooden cupboard in a dim hallway

Peekaboo

He checks the room before the room checks him.

$PEEK
Primary station
The narrow doorway between dinner and absolutely everybody's business.
Gap policy
Wide enough for one nose, two eyes, and all available whiskers.

A cupboard moves three centimeters. The investigation begins immediately.
Response time
Already there, waiting for someone else to admit they looked first.
Retreat method
One slow reverse step, followed by complete procedural innocence.

Behind The Door

Peekaboo patrols the apartment from a gap nobody remembers leaving open. He leads with the nose, confirms every witness, and keeps one paw ready for a quiet withdrawal. The door is never fully opened; that would end the assignment. Dinner, visitors, and unexplained bags receive equal attention. If discovered, he blinks once and becomes ordinary furniture with whiskers.

Caught looking. Never caught entering.
