Hi Linda
If your Maine Coon is displaying new behavior, it could be a subtle sign that something isn’t right in your cat’s world.
They may be feeling threatened or stressed by the presence of visitors.
Have any changes in your household, environment, or personal/health circumstances occurred?
If nothing has changed, it might be a good idea to have your Maine Coon checked by a veterinarian to rule out any pain or medical problems. Cats are emotionally sensitive; even minor changes can affect their emotional well-being.
If you can’t take your cat to the vet, consider letting it decompress from visitors for a few weeks and see if that makes any difference.
Trust your cat; they are trying to communicate something that only you can understand.
I hope that helps.
