i asked my cat why they go off into a corner and hide (or lick themselves as if nothing happened) when they make fools of themselves. He said: "Ngraowww..mao mao.. ngaaaooo" Translation: they do that in order to re-play in their kitty minds what happened so that they can pin point exactly what went wrong - so it doesn't happen again. I knew they were smarter than my grandsons...

When something unexpected happens to a cat, he is scared. When he is scared, he hides. Running into a door may be a big surprise, and he feels scared that something should have been there in his way... and falling off the couch is self-explanatory. He was high up, then he fell down... that's not very understandable for a kitten. He hides, hoping that the offending factor will go away. It doesn't of course, and I would find both the occasion and the reaction funny.
My kitty bravely runs into doors now and then and doesn't get embarassed by that at all - but then, he likes running too much, once he gets started... :)

My cat does that. I think they know they are supposed to be elegant and graceful... and when they fall or make a mistake they feel embarrassed. My cat always look around to make sure no one saw him fall off of the table on accident. It is really cute.

I have seen this many times and thought it was hilarious! I DO believe they embarrass themselves. Then they come out as if to say, "I meant to do that." (LOL)

Cats have way too much pride. They embarrass themselves easily.

Probably scared the crap out of himself because he didn't know what happened
