Every cat owner's worst nightmare is the loss of a pet dear to their heart.

To prevent this from happening, you should take care of your pet's safety in advance.

The main thing that all owners of whiskered and striped cats need to know is that it is primarily the sexual instinct that pushes them to escape.

Thus, castration or sterilization will reduce the possibility of events developing according to a sad scenario by at least 50%.

But even in this case, you should not leave the windows and doors open when you leave the house, and when leaving the apartment, always check where the cat is at the moment. Do not let the pet run out onto the landing.

Even a balcony is prohibited if it is not glazed. In the same case, if you have installed double-glazed windows on the loggia, for reliability, also get an anti-cat net.

In addition, if you carry out the chipping procedure, then even if the cat manages to escape, it will not be difficult to find it.

A replacement for the chip, although not as reliable, will be a bright collar with a tag attached to it, on which the owner's contact information will be placed.
