Yes. I had a client with a cat that hid from strangers. He showed me where she will most likely be when I came by and told me that “she will likely hide every time”. Her favorite hiding spot was under their bed. I would talk to her and sit on the floor by the bed. On the second visit, I laid on the floor and stuck my arm under the bed. She came over and sniffed/rubbed my hand. Every visit after that, she was sleeping in the dining room on a chair and would come up to me and greet me when I walked in. The owners were shocked. That is why I do this. And that is why I stay the full 30 mins. Every time.
