So yesterday Mom and Dad were rushing around getting ready for the Willy Wonka opening night at the theatre, Mom was putting on the opening night party and Dad was going to be juggling during intermission. So Dad was downstairs getting some stuff together to go, when Mom was upstairs about to get dressed so they could leave. Mom stepped into the walk-in closet to get her clothes when all of a sudden she hear a ::hiss:: ... Mom stepped back, looked around to see where it came from. I sounded like it was coming from the shelf where Dad had hung Mom's pants after they were ironed. She didn't see anything and stepped forward and again ::hiss::! Again Mom steps back nervously. She does a quick scan and doesn't see any of us. She was thinking maybe we were hurt and in hiding in the closet, but doesn't see a cat.
She calls for Dad and he rushes up. Mom says, "I think something's in the closet. It keeps hissing." The attic access is in the closet, you see, so Mom was thinking some critter had gotten in the attic, then made its way into the closet, maybe a possum or a mean hissing lizard. So Dad slowly inches into the closet and sure enough ::hiss:: again.
He steps back quickly, tells Mom that she may want to go to another room, and he starts clearing items away from the closet floor (like the small dirty clothes pile) that something could hide in. Dad is looking around the closet trying to come up with a plan: trash can to catch "it" in (whatever "it" is), or "do I grab it?" He even considered bringing us cats in to hunt. And then he saw it -- saw where the hiss was coming from -- right there on the shelf: the IRON was letting steam out after ironing Mom's pants!
(Seriously, if there was a critter in the house, did Mom and Dad not think we wouldn't be all over that in a heartbeat? Humans can be so silly.)

Bwahahaha! That is the funniest thing. We thought there might be a snake in there.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! We were thinking a snake too! :-D
MOL! That is so funny!
Our mom would be absolutely freaking out! That is so funny!
We can hear stuff from one end of the house to another, there's no way we'd let something take up residence in the closet either!
MOL! That was funny. And it's true.. we kittehs would be all over any real critters.
AHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I thought it was a snake! It's just PANTS! Or close enough... Heh...
HAHAHAHAHA, goodness it was just the iron, not a snake! Mum never puts the iron away in the closet until it is cold. It sits in the kitchen until it is cool.
Oh the evil steam iron!!!
Mewmie was laffin and laffin cuz she is skeered of most hissing things! She said it reminded her of the time her bike was in the bedroom and the tire blew and she crawled around the house on her hands and knees cuz she thought someone was shooting a gun outside...
