Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed
my cat who I have had for a year now keeps hiding behind the sofa and only comes out for food. She also keeps her tail down all the time and doesn't go to the toilet. What is wrong with her? Thank you!

Hello, this is a vague sing that she does not feel well. There are many of causes for not feeling well and hiding. Since she is otherwise eating, I would make sure there is nothing in her environment that could be stressing her such as a new pet, new furniture, new outside cats. If none, and if this behavior persists, then she should be evaluated by a veterinarian today. Hope this helps and best of luck.
