If your cat frequently tries to get outside, it is necessary to understand the reason for this behavior.
She may be getting bored or uncomfortable at home, or she may be attracted to the sounds and smells outside.
But, no matter the reason, there are some steps you should take to ensure your pet's comfort and safety and to prevent it from trying to leave the house.
Take care of your cat's comfort at home
Make sure your cat has access to appropriate toys, scratching posts, a place to rest, and privacy. Set up a cat tree house for your pet so she can rest and observe what's going on around her.
Spend time playing with your cat
Play with your pet to prevent boredom and release energy. If you don't have time, buy interactive toys to entertain your cat while you're away.
Provide your cat with enough attention
In addition to playing, show your cat your love and care by interacting with it daily, petting it, etc. These seemingly insignificant actions will help you strengthen the bond with your pet and, accordingly, reduce its stress (if any).
Create a safe environment for your cat
Since your cat is determined to escape from the house, make sure that it does not succeed. Check for dangerous places in the house, such as open windows, that could lead to an accident with the animal.
Use special repellents
In stores you can find all sorts of compounds that have an unpleasant smell for the purr. They can help discourage the cat from going for a walk. However, use them carefully so as not to harm the animal.
And, of course, don’t forget about consulting a specialist – a veterinarian and animal psychologist will help solve the problem if you can’t cope with it on your own.
Earlier we talked about why a cat constantly touches its owner with its paw.
