My new cat is hiding and scared. How do I get her to settle in?

Question

Hello. I just got a new cat, and she's tooooo frightened! She's hiding everywhere she can, and the smart me went to her and tried to calm her down (COME HERE KITTY, COME ON), that could be the worst thing I could do right? What should I do? She's so scared... I love cats. Pet's info: Cat | Burmese | Female | unspayed | 2.2 lbs

Cats can take some time to settle down and allowing her space and time to hide is an important step in her gaining an awareness of her new environment; I recommend you leave food and litter close to where she wants to hide and slowly bring them out as she settles down. Calming diets such as royal canin calm, supplements such as kalm aid and pheromone diffusers are all helpful in encouraging cats to acclimatize to a new house
