If the kitten doesn't come out all the time, it may be because it is scared, nervous, or not adapting to its new environment. When dealing with this situation, it is necessary to build a trusting relationship with the kitten with patience and gentleness and provide a safe and comfortable environment.
Here are some ways to help your kittens get out of hiding:
1.Give a sense of security: Kittens may feel intimidated by unfamiliar circumstances, so make sure to give them a sense of security. Set up a small kitten nest in the room with a comfortable mattress and towels to provide a safe refuge. At the same time, make sure that the room is free of any potentially dangerous items or elements that pose a threat to the kittens.
2.Gradual contact: Do not force the kitten out of hiding at first, contact and interaction can be gradual. Try to sit at an appropriate distance from the kitten's hiding place, do not look at it directly, and communicate with it slowly and make gentle sounds, such as calling its name, talking or singing softly. This will allow the kitten to gradually feel that you are friendly and harmless.
3.Use Treats**: Entice your kitten out of hiding by giving it some tasty treats. Choose some wet food or treats that kittens like and keep them not far from where they are hiding. In this way, the kitten will slowly approach because of the food, and then establish a bond with the owner.
4.Provide appropriate toys and activities: Kittens need to be energetic and active, so it's important to provide some age-appropriate toys and activities. These toys can distract kittens and gradually get them out of hiding to engage in play and exploration.
5.Build trust slowly: Building trust with your kitten is a step-by-step process. Once the kitten is willing to come out of hiding and interact with you, be gentle and friendly. Avoid sudden movements or scare them so that the kitten feels cared for and loved.
It is important to note that each kitten has a different personality and may not adapt to new environments and strangers at different rates. Some kittens may take longer to let their guard down, while others may have a relatively easy time adjusting to their new environment. Be patient and understanding when dealing with a situation where a kitten is hiding, and give plenty of time and space.
In addition, if the kitten continues to hide and does not show any signs of improvement, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian or a professional cat behaviorist to find out if there are other health or behavioural problems and to obtain further advice and guidance.
