It's common for cats to become stressed with new additions to the household. Hiding and reduced appetite can be signs of stress. Try to provide your cat with a safe, quiet space away from the new pet where they can eat and rest undisturbed. Gradually introduce the new pet through positive, supervised interactions. Feliway diffusers or other calming pheromone products might also help. Ensure separate food and water bowls, and litter boxes. If the behavior persists for more than a day or two, or if your cat stops eating entirely, it's crucial to seek veterinary attention to rule out underlying medical issues.
