The reasons why a cat tends to run away from home are not always the same, but the street is very dangerous for domestic catsAdult cats and cats can run away as a result of heat, and decide that a romantic getaway is in their best interest.
Cats are nocturnal hunters, it's in their blood. What young cat can resist a slight lively noise that sounds among the fallen leaves that he observes from the balcony? These are examples of reasons why cats want to run away, but they are not the only ones.
If you decide to continue reading our site, we'll point out some more reasons to run away and the ways to prevent my cat from escaping, and yours too. Take note of our advice:
El celo
The only effective way to cut off the sexual desires of cats and cats is castration. It may seem cruel, but if we want our cat to have a long and serene existence, it is the only solution.
Furthermore, the proliferation capacity of cats is such that, if we let them breed without control, our planet would become instead of the current home for the earthlings, in the planet of the "cats".
So, nothing can prevent our kittens' love escapades, except surgery. For females, there are medications oestrus inhibitors, but permanent medication causes he alth problems for the cat. For this reason, sterilization is much more recommended, which also has endless advantages.
Adventure Hunters
Cats and cats like to hunt. They are physically, mentally and genetically designed by nature for this purpose.
Do an experiment: if you are sitting on the sofa watching TV with the volume turned up and your cat remains impassive in the same room; surreptitiously scratch the fabric of the furniture with your fingernails, causing a slight noise. You will immediately notice that the cat becomes alert. He has heard a dull noise similar to what rodents make during their feeding. Despite the volume of ambient noise, the cat will have picked up the murmur of your fingers scratching the sofa. If you continue to make the slight noise, the cat will locate the source of the noise, and will attentively approach the place with all its muscles ready in case it has to jump on a prey.
Urban cats do not have almost this type of stimuli; but felines that live in a rural environment are perfectly prepared to carry out night hunts in search of prey. That's why they are so shiny, because they supplement their feed diet with what they hunt.
A urban cat can be provided with rag mice so that they can pretend to hunt them and thus stimulate their predatory instinct within the home. Dedicating time to play with our cat is very important to keep it entertained and thus prevent it from looking for fun in other places.
Bored cats
Cats that are the only pet in a household, tend to run away morethan those that are a pair of cats that live together. The reason is that a solitary cat is much more bored than two felines that live together and groom themselves, play and fight from time to time.
The desire to perceive things other than the daily monotony of walls, schedules, meals and care received, which are an identical carbon copy from one day to the next; causes in some cats a kind of "Groundhog Day", which impels them to run away from the monotony.
Un Playmate is the ideal way to break the cat's stress. Changes in diet, new toys and a little more quality time with him will also be positive.
Accidents
Cats are not infallible, they also suffer accidents Jumping from the ground to the edge of a construction railing can do it easily hundreds of times; but any day they may miss the jump. If they fall from very high, four floors for example, they usually die, although not always.
If they fall from the first floor, they usually survive and remain distraught waiting for you to come down to pick them up. For a while they are careful.
I, who have lived with cats for a long time, have lived various happy and disastrous experiences due to feline errors and fatal unforeseeable circumstances. In an article of mine en titled: "The Alien Cat Theory", I recounted how a young Siamese survived a fall from a fourth story. In subsequent points I will narrate how other cats in my home had accidents.
This type of behavior, known as the parachuting cat syndrome, is very dangerous and must be avoided with all kinds of measures: fences, bars, meshes…
