Your cat loves to hide around your home. Why does she do this?

Your cat could be hiding for a few different reasons. Cats still retain a lot of the survival skills their wild ancestors needed to stay safe. Hiding helps your pet stay out of harm’s way and helps her feel secure when she will be vulnerable, like when she’s resting. She may also be hiding because she needs to get some sleep and doesn’t want to be disturbed by others. There is a chance that your pet is hiding to get away from something that she was scared of or someone who was bothering her. Taking note of what’s going on around your home when your pet sneaks away can help offer you some insight into what’s going on in her head when she hides.
