Answer

A sudden change in a cat's behavior, especially hiding and hissing, can indicate pain, fear, or illness. Cats are masters at concealing discomfort, so this could be a significant symptom. Observe if there are any other changes like appetite loss, limping, changes in litter box habits, or recent traumatic events. It's crucial to rule out a medical issue first. Schedule a veterinary visit to get a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, provide a safe, quiet space for your cat. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
