Some cats are just so shy that they love hiding under the bed or furniture, away from the spotlight. A shy and timid kitty usually emerges from his hiding place to eat, drink, and visit the litter tray when there is no one around. When he sees anybody approaching, he will scurry back to his hiding place immediately, and your efforts to get him out often results in hisses and other displays of aggressive behavior.  

When a cat chooses to hide instead of interacting with people, it is usually triggered by a fear of something. Forcing him out of his hiding place and exposing him to perceived threats can make him more vulnerable, thereby feeding his fear.

If you don’t know what is causing your pet’s behaviour, you should try to observe his environment more closely. Giving him enough time to deal with whatever’s upsetting him is the best way to handle the problem.

You should seek professional help from a Jacksonville, FL vet if you are dealing with any undesirable pet behavior. Check out this website to know more.
