Question
When I have friends visiting, my cat will hide under my bed for the entire time my friends are over. Once they leave, she comes out of hiding and is being herself again. Why does she only hide at the time I have company over?
Answer
My cat does this all the time, well technically it's my sister's cat but we lived together while I was in college, ONE thing I noticed is that my cat was very dependent on my sister, like she would follow her around all the time and NEEDED to be with her most of the time, plus she never really liked going out, not being exposed to the "outside world" made her shy with other people I believe, the only people the cat would feel comfortable enough to be around was me and my sister, since she saw us on a daily basis, I believe it's just that she wasn't that exposed to other people when she was a kitten. Plus the fact that she became a very nervous cat. So I think you just have to slowly and patiently work with your cat, do not just force the cat to be around people/shapes/scents the cat doesn't know.
