There is an opinion that cats are quite selfish creatures and are supposedly ready to live anywhere and with anyone, provided they are fed regularly.

But this is not entirely true. It has been proven that cats remember their owners for several years, and some even for their entire lives.

Experts have given some advice that will help you establish contact with a pet that has had to change owners.

What you need to know

For a cat, a change of residence is stressful. The animal is strongly attached to the house and the person.

It will take a long time for a cat to get used to a new place, up to several months.

It should not be ruled out that a wayward pet may go in search of its old home or owner.

This also applies to animals that their owners leave with friends or relatives during their vacation.

If circumstances have developed in such a way that the cat has ended up in a new home for good, then in this case you need to show maximum attention.

An adult and experienced animal may even resort to trickery to escape from its new owners.

To prevent this from happening, you need to earn trust through care and love.
