Early game. After dozens of reloads learning the mechanics, I found a reliable way to steal the +1 Breastplate in Dammons shop. Waited for Dammon to face the anvil. Took my druid, went Cat mode, and meowed to change the guard's sight cones. Astarion was already positioned near the item. As soon as the sight cones are pointed away from me I hide. IMMEDIATELY Dammar turns around and is aware of my hiding. There is no red sight cone anywhere near me. The same thing happens if I hide Astarion in the tiny safe spot first, then try to move to the loot after i distract. I don't recall the act of hiding making any noise, am I wrong? Very frustrating...
