Why does my cat hide if I’m in a bad mood?

Did you know that cats can perceive our emotional state?
If your cat hides when you’re in a bad mood, it may be reacting to your energy. Keep reading this #LivelongTip to learn more. 

Sensitivity to Emotions: Cats are very perceptive and can detect changes in the emotional state of those around them. If you’re in a bad mood, your cat might sense your stress or anxiety and respond by hiding. 

Environmental Changes: Your bad mood could lead to changes in your behavior, such as speaking louder, moving more abruptly, or making unusual noises. These changes can scare or upset your cat, causing it to seek a safe place to hide. 

Negative Energy: Cats seek tranquility and stability. Negative energy associated with a low mood can be disturbing to them, prompting them to find a refuge where they feel safer. 

Survival Instinct: In nature, cats tend to hide to avoid danger. If they sense the environment is less safe, they may instinctively hide. Taking care of your emotional well-being benefits not only you but also your cat.
Practicing relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing, can help you better manage your mood.
