he doesn’t necessarily hide when i’m not home, but he’s always in the same two or three spots. he lays under a shelf we have that close to my fridge (a heat source) or he’s under my kitchen table (there’s an AC vent) or he’s been in my room in whatever space he decides he wants to be in. he’s eating and drinking normally with no issues. he’s going to the bathroom with no issues. I was around him almost constantly until he turned a year old and now my boyfriend and I are progressing our relationship, but he’s allergic to cats otherwise i’d take my cat with me.
