Cats Protection Behaviour Manager Nicky Trevorrow explains why a cat may hide more frequently. Cats are very subtle in their behaviour when something is wrong and it is very easy to overlook an increase in hiding behaviour. Discuss the change in your cat’s behaviour with your vet as they will have access to their medical history. Hiding behaviour could just be one sign and it is possible that your cat could have a number of behavioural and/or medical problems. In the meantime, general measures that you can take to help your cat feel safe include providing your cat with lots of opportunities to hide and get up high to elevated perches. Cats Protection’s Feline Fort® is designed to minimise stress.

The best way to help your cat is to provide plenty of hiding places, escape routes and, most importantly, let them hide.
