Your cat isn’t as social as you thought she would be. In fact, she seems to hide quite a bit. Why is this?

If your cat is new to your household, she may simply be trying to get used to her surroundings. After she warms up a bit to her new home she will likely come out to visit with you more often. If she knows your home well, she may be trying to get away from something she doesn’t like. Think about things like loud appliances or children who don’t give her enough personal space, and try to see what is present when she darts off to find a hiding spot. Also keep in mind that there are many different personalities, and your cat may simply enjoy her solitude. Your local Thousand Oaks, CA vet clinic can help you care for your pet.
