Is my cat scared when I run at her and she hides during playtime?

Question

Is it bad if I play my cat this way; I run at her and she runs away and hides for a second and then she comes out and we do it again. Is this bad or am I just scaring her?

I would be concerned that this kind of game could cause her to run away from you when you really need her to come. I think an even better game to play would to have her learn to come to you when called. You could teach her to play hide and seek!
