@froregade@mastodon.social oh, I didn't know if the cats were new or if it was a new space (like just moved there). if they're bonded to you already, that can help a lot. sit near where they're hiding and talk to them quietly. have treats handy. when they come out, give them a treat and some pets. don't do this longer than like 15-20 minutes, then come back in an hour or so and try it again. if they aren't coming out, leave a treat right outside the hiding spot and leave, then again in an hour or so.
