It's normal for cats to hide. They do hide well too and could be within two feet of you, but you don't see them.

Cats graze with their food and to some degree are solitary animals and enjoy being alone even though they may be friendly, cuddle and play with their owners. Cats also don't take well to change. Example: having some work done on your kitchen and everything is upside down. Other cats may be very curious and actually in the way.

If your cat is frightened and hides away even from you then take time out every single day to hold your cat, but just for a few seconds and let them know you will release them without a struggle if they so choose to get away from you. Eventually they will enjoy the human contact. When they are around you talk to them. Cats are highly intelligent animals.

Cats are individuals like people and some cats will be curious, open and friendly and want to see who the guests are in your home or what is going on, while other cats scurry away to a safe place. This does not mean there is anything wrong with your cat.

It totally depends on the cat and what that cat likes. Some cats like to hide in dark places like under the couch or in the basement. If it is cold out they might like to hide in the covers if it is warm they might hide in a cooler place like the basement. You just have to figure out where your cat likes to hide and then you will know the places to look when you have lost him.

Cats hide when they feel threatened. Most cars prefer to avoid conflict and will hide instead when they are afraid. Forcing a scared cat to interact may result in getting attacked. Some cats will also hide if they are sick or injured. If your cat is hiding, let it (unless it's hiding someplace that could become dangerous). Give him/her time to calm down. Speak softly, avoid making any loud noises or rapid movements and eventually the cat should come out on their own. But if (s)he doesn't come out to eat, drink, or to use the bathroom after a whilethen you should call your vet.

Indoors they sleep everywhere. Beds, sofas, boxes. They pretty much sleep wherever they want!

Typically a cat will hide under a porch or car. Some cats run off Into the Woods and occasionally some run through a neighborhood.

Cats have retractable claws, which means that their claws retract into sheaths in their paws. You can see it by pressing gently on the cat's paw and then letting go.
