It could be that something scared Roxie, or she may be ill. Without any further symptoms, I can't say for sure what is causing her to hide under the table, but I would let her be for now. She will come out when she is ready, but if she continues to hide there for a couple of hours, when I would try to tempt her out with some treats or boiled white meat chicken (no bones). You can take her into the vet if you are concerned she is ill.
