      Check under the couches and beds. Kittens sleep for a large portion of the day, and the dark area beneath large pieces of furniture can often provide a cozy place for them to nap.

      Call your kitten by its name using a soothing voice. Though your kitten may not know its name yet, the soft sound of your voice may be enough to lure it to you.

      Click your tongue and make kissing noises. These noises attract cats and may be enough to lure your kitten out of its hiding place.

      Run a flashlight or laser pointer under and behind areas that you cannot see but your cat can get to. If your kitten is awake, it will most likely chase the light and try to catch it, making it easy for you to find it.
