Sounds like it might just be an adjustment phase, especially if she’s still
new. Hiding and restlessness are pretty common in the first couple weeks as
cats figure out their environment.
A few things that usually help:
– Vertical space matters more than people think a cat tree or even a clear
shelf gives them a sense of security
– At least one quiet, low-traffic hiding spot she can retreat to (a covered
bed or even a cardboard box works)
– Keep food, water, and litter box in separate areas cats don’t like eating
near where they go to the bathroom
– Give her time without forcing interaction; let her come to you
This new kitten room setup guide covers the basics pretty well if you want a

Should get easier within a couple weeks as she settles in.
