Why do Siamese cats like to hide under the sofa?

Everyone who has had a cat at home knows that whether it is a Siamese cat, or a Garfield or a Ragdoll cat, they are all like this. As long as they encounter things that the cat feels unsafe, they like to hide, under the sofa, under the bed, they are the cat’s refuge. Especially Siamese cats that have just arrived at their new home are even more timid.

So when a Siamese cat just arrives home, we should not be too eager to hug it and touch it, because when a Siamese cat is new to a family or has just moved to a new home, it will have a stress reaction because it is not too familiar with the new environment at home, and when a Siamese cat has a stress reaction, it will be very bad for the Siamese cat’s body and its body resistance will be reduced, so when a Siamese cat comes to a new place, you must pay attention to the beginning Don’t touch it or hold it easily, let it get used to the environment first.


First, we can put the Siamese cat’s food bowl and poop bowl in the same place, and show the Siamese cat the position of these things. There are many small toys for cats, such as cat teasers and small threads for Siamese cats to play with, which will make them very happy and improve their relationship with the cat. After this familiarity, Siamese cats will no longer hide under the sofa.

In general, it takes time for a cat to adapt to a new environment, so parents should not be so anxious.
