It happens that a cat or a kitten is surrounded by care in all the main indicators, but at the slightest opportunity they try to escape from the apartment or house.
It turns out that there are reasons why a pet will run away, even if it is always well-fed, sleeps warmly, and is not deprived of attention.
Experts say that a cat can run away from home primarily due to constant stress or obeying instincts.
What are the reasons?
When a cat sits by an open window or vent, or when the door to the apartment opens, its olfactory receptors pick up smells that are completely new to the brain.
In fact, it is the scents that allow cats to navigate their surroundings and adapt to a new place.
Curiosity and the hunter's instinct call the cat into the unknown. They are also driven by the reproductive instinct, if the pet has not undergone the appropriate procedure.
What seems comfortable to a person may not be to the pet's liking. The reaction may follow after another animal appears in the apartment.
It is possible that the cat is stressed due to lack of attention or, on the contrary, wants to be alone.
In any case, it is worth remembering that for a pet, the street is full of dangers and surprises. No matter how combative the cat is in the apartment, in the wild it may find itself facing a stronger opponent.
It is believed that the best way to prevent pets from escaping is to have them spayed or neutered.
