Everything seemed fine, until a little after dinner Missy cat ran

Spock (normal), but she is also growling at me, which she's never done
before. It's a low long growl like I've never heard from her before.

She's been there for hours, hasn't moved, and doesn't look like she's
coming out any time soon. This is not a normal hiding or sleeping
spot for her. She seemed fine at lunch time, begged for her pets as
usual. She ate her dinner, or at least she started. Now she won't
even accept any treats which is most unlike her.

I'm worried that something's wrong. I want to take her to the vet in
the morning, but I don't know how I'm going to get her out from under
the bed if she doesn't come out on her own. If she's all excited,
sick or injured, I don't want to just try to grab her. She'd either
run out the other side or claw me.

Any suggestions? I live alone and don't think I'd get many volunteers
to get the crazy angry kitty out from under the bed.

Get her out from under the bed. Personally, I find the firing up a vacuum
cleaner will flush most cats out of hiding. Of course, a really stubborn
cat may need the blower end of an old Electrolux aimed in its direction.
Works every time!
