Dogs love their homes more than cats because dogs live in groups and leave their scent everywhere when they go out. Therefore, if they get lost, it is easy to find them based on the scent. What about cats? Sometimes cats are too excited. As soon as you open the door, you run out, or you run out when you are in heat, and you run far away. Can you come back on your own?

Cats, like dogs, have a keen sense of smell. If they are not caught or encounter an accident, they will usually go home on their own. But the owner should search for it in time. Cats tend to appear on their own initiative after hearing the owner's voice.

Will a pet cat go home on its own if it gets lost?

Cats can find their homes on their own, not mainly by smell, but by the biological clock in the body. When living in the primitive wild, cats and many other animals could use the position of the sun to decide what to do now, such as when. When hunting, do not go out to avoid encountering natural enemies. Gradually, you can form a stable biological clock in your body based on the position of the sun, and the internal biological clock schedule corresponds to the position of the sun. Although cats are now pets and enjoy life freely at home without the need to hunt, their biological clocks determine that their lives are also regular. Over time, they can know when their owners should get up and when they should. Waiting after get off work.

If a cat is lost, the position of the sun that should be corresponding to the body's biological clock schedule will deviate from the current situation. If the cat can follow the position that corrects this deviation, it will find its original home. , when you get near your home, you can accurately find out which unit and house is your home through your sense of smell. After all, the longer a cat lives at home, the more indelible impressions it will have on the home's smell, owner's voice, environment, etc. Also, the lost distance is generally within 12 kilometers. If it is further away, it is difficult to say.

It is recommended that you try the following methods to increase the probability of your cat returning home:

1. Call the cat at night. Lost cats will generally be very alert to sounds, even to familiar sounds. Calling the cat may still be effective.

2. Leave a familiar smell to the cat at the door of your home. You can place cat litter, toys or blankets at the door with a familiar smell to the cat. If the cat comes out at night, you can smell these smells. .

3. Put food outside the door. Put wet cat food, canned tuna or foie gras and other strong-smelling food at the door to attract the cat and prevent it from being scared away by other cats or wild animals.
