The cat will come back after leaving, but the chance of returning home exactly is very small. Because most cats are domestic pets and rarely go out, they are not familiar with the world outside their homes. Once lost, it will be difficult for them to find their way home.

Secondly, cats are timid and sensitive, and the outside world is full of noise. When cats are frightened, they will panic and hide in a hurry, making it even harder to find their way home.

What should I do if the cat is gone?

1. First, the owner should think about where the cat will go after being lost. Normally, if a cat is lost in an area with its owner as the origin, it should also be active near this point. You can focus on checking the surrounding bushes, alleys and other areas.

But if the cat is lost on the street, its range of activities will be very large, and it may follow other people or other animals. Because cats are timid, they usually hide in relatively narrow places, such as outdoor culverts. The owner should focus on searching these places.

2. In addition to determining the location, there are also some methods you can try to find cats. And the cat must be found promptly, preferably within 24 hours after it is lost.

First, you can open all the windows and put clean food and water at home. Some cats may follow the smell and find it on their own. Second, you can go to nearby pet stores and pet hospitals to ask, because if someone picks up a cat, they may take it for a bath or examination. Third, you can adjust the monitoring of the place where the cat is lost, post a cat-finding notice nearby, and then call the cat's name loudly to find it based on the cat's movement track.

3. After a cat is lost, the chance of finding it is generally relatively small, because cats don’t go out often, and unlike dogs, they can’t leave a scent along the way. Therefore, the owner must lock the door when going out to prevent the cat from escaping. If the floor he lives on is relatively high, the windows must be sealed to avoid the dangerous situation of the cat jumping off the building.
