If you’ve recently adopted a new cat into your home, they may need time to settle in before they feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding. The best way to help your new cat to settle in is to create a calm and safe environment. Start by minimizing any loud noises and sudden movements that could startle your cat. Next, offer treats or their favorite food near their hiding spot, gradually moving it closer to you over time to encourage them to come out on their own terms. You should also try speaking softly to reassure your new cat that everything is okay.
And remember, patience is key! It's important to let your cat set the pace and come out of hiding when they’re ready.
