Hi Corbin,
I recently adopted a cat, and I've noticed she tends to hide under the bed whenever there are loud noises or when new people visit. Is this normal behavior for cats, or should I be concerned? Any tips on how to help her feel more comfortable would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Emily Carter
Hi Emily,
It's quite common for cats to hide in response to loud noises or unfamiliar guests, as they are naturally cautious creatures. To help your cat feel more at ease, try providing a safe, quiet space where she can retreat. Gradually introducing her to new people and minimizing sudden loud sounds can also help her adjust over time.
If her behavior doesn't improve, consider consulting a veterinarian for further advice.
Sincerely,
Alex Thompson
