If a cat runs away from home, it is a huge stress for the owner.

The person is worried about his pet and hopes that the animal can be found.

And often the owners blame themselves for what happened. Of course, if a person used physical force against a cat, then this is most likely what caused what happened.

But if the pet owner showed only love and affection to the four-legged friend, then the matter is different.

The cat is afraid of people

This often happens with furry creatures who are taken in after a long life on the street.

Having experienced many stressful situations, the cat is afraid even of those who do not want to do anything bad to her.

If the cat is not yet accustomed to the owner, to his family members and to the new environment, then it may well run away, even if all the residents of the apartment have fallen in love with it.

Instinct

The cat's instincts may "kick in." In this case, he will want to leave the house to hunt normally and freely walk around an unlimited space.

This, again, often happens with pets that were previously homeless.

The cat is sick

Furry pets who are faced with illness and severe pain may not want to suffer in front of their owner.

It is possible that the animal will want to hide and be alone. If it is not possible to do this in the apartment, the cat may leave the house.
