Any responsible cat owner will start to worry if their pet tries to escape from the house.
Everyone knows how dangerous this can be.
However, it is worth finding out the reason that makes the animal leave the comfort of its home for strange “street pleasures”.
What could be the explanation?
Jealousy
It is worth remembering that cats also have feelings. Not all of them are able to calmly accept the presence of a "rival". If you brought a partner or another animal to your territory, the reaction can be very unpredictable, experts say.
Even a new baby can cause jealousy.
Curiosity
Each cat has its own character, temperament and behavior, which is also important to consider. Some pets who have a strong connection with their wild ancestors and instincts may find it "cramped" within the confines of a house or apartment.
In this case, they will periodically "patrol" the territory that they consider theirs.
Stress or illness
During periods of illness or stressful situations, cats often behave strangely. Therefore, it is always worth paying attention to the animal's condition.
Sometimes a stressful situation becomes an impetus to run away from home in search of a calmer place.
