It is normal for cats to hide and not come out when they first arrive in a new home. Cats are not used to the new environment, so they like to hide on sofas, under beds, etc. This way they will feel more secure. ​​​​​​

The owner must not stimulate the cat when it is hiding, such as forcibly grabbing the cat to come out, using a stick to poke the cat out, etc. The owner can put cat food and water for the cat in an open area, and wait for the cat to slowly adapt to the environment and come out to eat on its own.

The owner should not call the cat loudly or scare it. It will slowly approach the owner after it gets used to it. If the cat does not eat or drink for three days, you need to take the cat to the hospital for examination to prevent the cat from getting sick and dehydrated.
