I began to feed stray kittens and it reached the point that I was feeding 11 cats. I reached out to a local organization who helped to trap them and fixed them for free since im terminally ill and disabled. I have been there of letting in one of the black cats who always runs to me and she is friendly to the 2 dogs i have. I love cats and dogs and i will always take care of them. ❤

Cat's don't run away, they move!

I love cats so much.

As i read the comments, i became very happy that my two little Panthers ( a feline and a tomcat, siblings) never left me. I live in a House with a big Garden, maybe that's the reason but i always liked to think they love me so much as i love them. I lost my Wife back in 2006, our Son was 7 and i raised him as a single Dad. I never married again and was happy but in 2021 i lost my beloved Son due a tragic accident. Those 2 Cats saved my life and i don't know what had happen with me without them❤❤❤💔❤️‍🩹🙏

I am the second home for a cat who lives 3 houses away. He comes over every evening through the cat door, anytime between 7:30 and 9:30, purrs like a freight train, and demands his snuggles. Eats a little, but really comes over for the scritches and cooing. He's here in the daytime only during bad weather.

Many, many years ago, we rescued/adopted an orange/white female tabby (she was, technically, a "calico" because one patch of black hair that looked like an "motor oil stain") that was hanging around the outdoor break (smoking) area where my mom worked. We had her for about 2 years before she ran away when we brought home a gray (male) kitten as a companion for her. She wouldn't have anything to do with him, and after a couple of weeks or so, she ran away and she never came back. That was 35 years ago, and I still wonder what happened to her, and I hope she found another home. 😢 It still hurts. I missed her so much.

My family once 'had' a cat who led a double life. He began visiting us regularly, and eventually stayed for days or weeks at a time, only to also disappear for similar periods of time. I think we eventually somehow found out his ‘regular’ family lived on a neighboring island, and that he would get on a small ferry to travel between them and us.

We recently rescued a cat from a not so nice home. Better said, she found us! Twice! First we returned her to the owner only to find the cat escaped from them again to find us a 2nd time.

We moved in our home ten years old. Two weeks after we moved in on a stormy winter night with snow, cat came to our door meowing. We opened the door and let her in. She was pregnant had babys month later and we found good homes but we kept moma and one of her babies. Well a year later naboors knocked on our door saying we had their cat. Cops came and we had already had cat fixed and shots and chipped. Its been 11 years since that happened and QUEEN MOMA, AND PRINCESS JASMINE (momas daughter) are still with us and happy.

😢 I know of one family who have too much noise and stress. Feel their cat is still alive, but had good reasons to leave. They are broken hearted but continue with the same lifestyle, despite my gentle hints.

My cousins’ cat moved out and was found six months later living with an elderly couple four blocks away! Too much commotion at her original home! My parents, when they retired, acquired a part-time cat. My folks were his R & R outpost! My sister’s cat also moved in with me. She brought her over a few times and eventually put up a wild fight to put her in the carrier. So we decided she could just stay.

My Mom had a female Tabby (Mopsy) whom she raised from a kitten in Bremerton WA. After my conception, my Mom moved to So. CA leaving her feline friend with a friend to care for her. After 3-4 months, that same cat showed up at my Mom's new residence & had never been outside of Bremerton. The cat left her designated owner & somehow found my Mom. My Mom's friends wanted her to take her story to the local newspaper, but was afraid no one would believe her.

I had a cat years ago who liked to go outside. We lived in a semi-rural area. One night I let him out as usual, and he disappeared, never to be seen again. I don't think a car got him; from kittenhood on, he avoided them. We came to believe that a wild animal got him--we had foxes in the neighborhood. I don't think he was picked up by someone else; he was a one-person cat who would only let me touch him.

Growing up we had a Maincoon male and a female Siamese. The Siamese used to chase Matchbox cars on my track set up I had in the living room. Muffin would watch intently to when I launched them, and she would eyeball the cars as they came around the track. Then, when they would jump in the air from the bridge piece, and fly to the next track section, Muffin would bat them out of the air. sometimes she would hit it wrong and shook her paw from the hit to make it stop hurting. She had so much fun with the Matchbox track.

Some times cats leave home to die. I found one of ours who did that. Got him to the vets and he lived to the ripe old age of 14.5 years. With another cat, he found a rabbit warren and moved out of the house until he had killed them all, then he came home.

God knows the real reason of cats coming into our lives. I saved one from the fireplace, she is so adorable, I got her in a very sad time for me. After she’s been with me, I feel protected. Thanks God for that gift ❤

Keep your cat in the house, safe from cars and predators

I'm so lucky. I adopted a mother cat (she was quite feral) with her 2 kittens. I live on a main road so I was worried about their safety. Heaven knows why, but they NEVER ventured on to the road. All three cats will sit out the front, at the roller door, but never go across the road. The only place they go is to the next door neighbor's, where they torment the dog (a little Jack Russell) as they walk past the glass door! As I said, mum was feral and her kittens knew no better, but still, they're safe. I hope it stays this way. I have friends that adopted a mother cat (while still pregnant), and just after she had the kittens she disappeared. The kids had to feed the babies to keep them alive. I know the whole family was devastated, but never knew what happened to her. I want to cry just thinking about it.

I replaced my house with a new one. During the last month, my husband and I ran out of money waiting for them to finish the house and we camped in the woods and the cats still stayed with us in the tents. But when we finally moved into the new house, they took one look inside the new house and never returned.

I saved a Cat from the pound and she was ok with my other cats. But then I got a dog and she started to disappear. She was gone for a month and I was worried but she showed up one last time and wanted me to follow her up a block to another house with a lady gardening. She had moved in with them and they had a little girl who loved my cat so I said thank you to her and was glad she’s got a loving home where she was the focus. I had the dog and several other cats.

I have 2 stray cats that made my home their home. Both were born in this area. My female is smart and has been with me for 8 years now. My male cat has been here 3 years. They stay close by and I bring them in at night or when the weather is too hot or too cold. However, they choose what they want. They have a great life here with me. They are never too far from me. I'm glad they are here with me.

My cat dissapear many years ago out of the blue. He was very old, so we thought he chose a place to die. He never returned, i was heartbroken even now, 3 cats down the line. He will always be in my heart.

We had a cat run away.. and a few years later he showed up with a little family and then we never saw him again. It was like he was letting us know he was ok and happy 😢

Our mother and 4 offspring live 99% outside, all are neutered, chipped and collared. Three have gone walkabout for 2-8 days each, coming back. Fed twice per day, they have trees, yard walls and roofs as vantage points. Occasional scraps with neighbouring cats, snakes, lizards and frogs.

My son’s cat escaped 2 months ago. We tried to treat her stress because of changes in the family composition, but I guess it was too much for her. We haven’t lost hope she’ll come back. It’s really heartbreaking not knowing if she’s safe. 😢

Too many cats will lead to them possibly leaving, from getting bullied or having to compete for the food put out.

I have a 'notmycat'. Lived in my garden, in the freezing winter. Made her an isolated box, with straw, to keep warm and attached a label to her collar with my phone number, with the question whether she belonged to someone. Apparently she does (they used to live next door) but she still 'lives' here. Even breaks in through my tiny window, which I now closed with a tie wrap. I guess it's just nice & quiet here, compared to her home. And we love each other ❤

My cat ran away on the Good Friday of the Alaska earthquake. Never saw him again. Still think of him.

A collar with a phone number on it. Never thought of that.

Best solution is to get 2 cats infact.. Once there are 2 cats, then you have reduced the chances of your cat running away by 80%

We had the absolute best cat ever. He was awesome. We allowed him to go outdoors anytime he wanted and he always returned before dark. He was our only pet he had been fixed at the earliest age possible one day he wanted out so I opened the sliding glass door to let him out and sadly he never returned. We asked the neighbors made posters offered a reward the whole 9 yards. This was 7 years ago and I will always wonder what happened to my cat

Cats DON'T need to be let out! Too many horrible things can happen to them.

Our cat Conan adopted several families that live on the street behind us. We raised him from a kitten, got him fixed at six months, fed him dry, canned and rotisserie chicken daily. He grew to be a happy cat two year old cat until the day we brought home a couple of homeless kittens. He went into a rage when he saw them, hissing and growling. He demanded to be let outside, knocking everything over if we didn't oblige. He even pulled off the wooden blinds on one of the windows.. We figured that in time, he would come to accept the kitties. Nope. He acted like a wild cat seeking revenge. Since we kept a tracker on his collar (along with an id tag and being chipped), we discovered that he has four other homes now on the street behind us. He uses their pet doors and sleeps at night in bed with two of them. He still comes around to visit and be petted, but refuses to come in. We drop off cat food here and there to these neighbors. One sweet neighbor even added a new id tag, adding the name Coco to his name Conan. He kills all the rats around their homes, so he will always be known as Conan, The Barbarian. So grateful that he is loved by so many.

If you have ever seen a cat chasing a butterfly or climbing a tree you would feel guilty keeping them imprisoned in a house. Like the vet said, cats live longer inside but they are happier outside.

Thank you. Yes, it is very true

This is why our two are INDOOR ONLY cats, we live right by a very busy road and have coyotes in the fields/woods nearby, I love my kitties enough to keep them safe. They also have a huge house, tons of toys 3 huge cat trees and 2 dogs to play with. No idea why anyone would scare their cat unless it’s in play, me and my female Lola play “find me” she hides I find her and say “boo, I found you!” then she hides again. It’s a fun game for her.

The part about the collar, well i didn't have a good experience with that over 10 years ago. Had a black cat named Majestic, her collar got caught in the seam of a folding section of a collapsible table we had once when she was trying to hop down. Needless to say I'm glad i was there to save her, be mindful, even if it's unlikely collars can become death traps for your feline friend.

I don’t let my cats go outside, ever! There’s nothing good outside for cat and my vet told me that an indoor cat has twice the life expectancy of an outdoors cat, so keep your fur babies inside.

I had a cat that had a double life. My first cat Samber had kittens. We gave them all away except one. Tiger Browny Jr. was Named after my friend's Cat who believed was the father. Tiger was such a cool cat, they were indoor-outdoor cats. Samber the mom ended up dying after getting hit by a car. She was a very bold cat. We believed she was a leader of a cat gang lol. So then we just had Tiger. He was very independent. He would come inside for a while hang out then leave. We would always have food for him but sometimes wouldn't eat it like he had already eaten. Then we wouldn't see him for like a day, then a week, then weeks and then he just stop coming around. I believe he just found another family.

My cat bob (Bobby) was so loyal I still miss him so much 😩

Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

I had a cat that shared with another person. He was a rather old gentleman who had begun feeding him. I decided that I'd say nothing and I'd just share. He really enjoyed our cats company. He was finally forced into a senior center. My cat was kind of depressed for a long while. The man was very kind to her

Great info, helpful. Lost two cats to big storms - they fled and, apparently, got lost - and one to illness; he chose to find a hiding place to fade away. Sad stuff, but in a way, it's the fee we pay for being able to love them for as long as we get to. (They were all feral cats that adapted to being indoors part of the time, particularly winter.)

I adopted a feral kitten and she is dubbed as “Houdini”. She escapes about 3 or 4 times a day, but somehow, she never ventures out of the backyard and ends showing up by the back door after awhile.

I always have had a cat door . I believe it is dangerous but given the chance they love going outside. I also believe that there is nothing happier than an inside/ outside cat .

Awe they like peace & Quiet. How would people not know that. Poor things.

You forgot theft. Even if they have a collar on, some people take them in and remove the collar. Make sure you get them chipped and register it.

Sometimes they get out and get lost. Especially if they curl up in a truck or car. I saw a cat lost 8 months reunited with his humans. He was found miles away. He was so happy to see them.

Another High Quality "Cat Awareness" content. Thnx CC

Years ago, my dog died. A month later, my cat went out for what we thought was a regular ‘night out’, in heavy snow, and never came back. I thought it was because she was searching for our dog 😞

I had a cat named Miya who always preferred to be outside. She'd find a way to escape the moment we opened the door. We lived in a gated community. She'd leave and come home to eat and sleep and get in some cuddling. One day she was hit by a car on her way back home. I cried for months and will never allow another one of my cats to leave the house.

We moved 160 miles west, across a mountain range and 3 rivers. Our Tom cat vanished two weeks after we unpacked. We figured a fox, snake or even an eagle had got him. About a month after that he turned up at our old neighbours house and moved in with them and their lady cat. (We got his chip registered to them, he was happy after all). Two years later I moved back east, not far from where we had lived, I bough my lady cat with me, not long after she made the journey back to my parents place, it took her a bit longer, but she was in good health. I left her there where she became boss over every thing, the dogs, the horses, the cattle and even the geese were her underlings!

I live in rural Cambodia, and keeping cats here is almost impossible. They always disappear. It's a combination of things: there are a LOT of mice, rats, squirells, lizards and other things to hunt so they don't need humans, but they can also be killed by wild dogs or get a disease. But if you lose a cat, you can guarantee another one will turn up. You end up with a kind of rotation of cats.

Give them enough love and they will always try to come back :)

It has something to do with the rain … leaching loamy dirt. Or the way the back lane comes alive. Half moon whispers, ‘go.’

Have had this loyal fellow hanging around 8yrs or so since TNR. He Follows me around like a lil kid. Soon to be moving, trapping him scare moms me, he's smart but allowed himself trapped few times due to extreme cold last few yrs. Last inside kitty died in a fire 16 days ago. Hope this works out somehow 🙏, never have figured out how to put a photo here!

We have some dodgy people living in our neighbourhood and some absolutely hate cats coming into their yards. You can imagine the evil things some sick people can get up to, so not going to elaborate on that. There is also the risk of stray dogs mauling a cat to death, and we have in fact had a neighbour lose her cat in such a horrible way. Also, cats are territorial and regularly get into cat fights and one of our own cats unfortunately lost his eye like that. So the moral of the story is, if you live in a suburb, don't let your cat outside unattended. While it is important for them to chew on grasses and stuff, take them out on a cat harness and leash. You'll be amazed on how much fun it can be to let them take you for a walk in the backyard. 🐾

Thank you 🙏✨😽♥️🤍

We had a tomcat that was never fixed, he ran off and got HUGE. The local vet accidentally ran over him so took him in and healed him. Years later my dad spotted him at the clinic. Schwartz was renamed Stretch.

Our resident cat never ran away for over 4 years. Goes from home to home within the compound. A litter of kittens here and there throughout the years. Eventually she got catnapped after giving birth to a long-furred kitten (that looks better than the common short-furred cats).

I read in an article years ago that a cat's territory is 7 miles north, east, south n west...wow!!!!!!!

When I lived near Seattle there would be lost cat posters on telephone poles all the time. Those cats were never coming home because, usually they were taken by coyotes, yes, even in the city coyotes are everywhere at night. Packs of them have been filmed roaming the streets of Seattle at night. Also eagles and large birds of prey have been filmed with cats in their talons. I saw a documentary on Coyotes and they are everywhere these days, it's been estimated that there are over 20,000 in the city of Chicago. You may think your cat is a little tiger but those wild animals will have no problem dealing with your tiger. On KZfaq I saw a video of a coyote near Hollywood running down the sidewalk with two cats in it's mouth. So if you love your cat, please don't let it outside to roam.

I will say that my tabby cat "Deuce" was given to me by my son who said I just needed to take care of him while he found a new place...that was 7 years ago! Anyhow, I had a great dog "Koko" and Deuce was an indoor cat so I kept him that way. About 20 months ago I started letting him outside. He watched Koko for about 6 years go outside, do his business then come back inside over and over again. He actually learned that "I go outside then I come back". Unique situation I suppose but it worked. Sadly I had to put Koko down last July in his debilitating health.

Mine did the same and I wish him good luck

My ex-wife, let my cat out when we were first married I was devastated. I had the cat for 10 years tried everything to find it never never never found her. Never.

I found a kitten ouside of a gas station and because we are more dog people and the kitten hated our dogs we kept her until we could find a good home. Fast Forward a few days later and we absolutely fell inlove with the kitten and shes very happy here with our 2 dogs.

Ohhhhh I lost a cat, Peow, I loved him… there was stress too, likely why he left. Much noise, hard times and he didn’t come home one day. His brother got out after an amputation and got lost, though when he Peow was gone months must have found or come across his brother Pootha. He bought his brother Pootha home, but would not stay though, as had already been gone 6 months. The next day as soon as he could leave he escaped, he did so and never came back. I’m grateful he bought back his disabled brother though. And after this a large cat run was built so the cats can be indoors or outdoors but were safe from dogs etc. as the missing cats brother had his leg amputated due to a loose dog coming into the yard. But Peow, he never come back and we could not find him. His amputee brother Pootha lived till 17 safe within the cat runs and the house. If you Love your cat, then make a run for them. We used a pergola and covered it with shade cloth. Later it got larger as at one end as a giant chicken wire chicken run was attached. It doesn’t have to be expensive cat mesh in fact that will not stop a dog getting your cat. Shade cloth cat run has been up about 15 years and the chicken run component 10 years. Lots and lots of room for little money. You can turn any verandah or patio pergola into a cat run with shade cloth. They will love you for it.

Our cats were different. When the family moved from the home lot to the farm lot which was about a kilometer away (more than half of a mile) they keep on going back to the old house (home lot),

When I was a kid we had a cat, super friendly, relaxed, a real sweetheart, we got another cat, he turned mean and escaped and would come around once in awhile but would never come indoors and wanted nothing to do with us.😥

My cat is known in my immediate neighbourhood and has a second home very near to my house. She spends the.daylight hours there. The children pamper her and feed her. She comes home whenever I call her name at dusk and sleeps on my bed at night. When I am out of town this family happily takes care of her sparing both my cat and I the stress and agony of her being caged up in a cat hotel.

I want my boy to see more of the world but I just can't let out. I need him to be safe and happy all the time or it effs me up. I've never had a pet in my life cuz I didn't want to feel this way about an animal but now that I got stuck with him, I need our years together to be safe.

one fellow suspected his cat had a second home while he was at work. His suspicions were confirmed one year when his cat came home in an elf costume just before Christmas....

The faces these animals pull lol

My cat stay out side, roaming the little jungle behind the house. Then at night, come back, have dinner and sleep in his bed

After our cat disappear now we have two indoor cats and I refuse to let them outside which seems almost mean because they will sit and stare out the window and sometimes they desperately try to sneak out the door... but after losing our beloved pet I can't bear to lose another one

All my cats could go outside. If they dont come back, so be it. Their lives might be shorter, but lived to the fullest.

The truth is that they don't need you. They can discover their inner food bowl!

If your cat leaves and doesn't come back your a garbage owner. My neighbours cat is now my cat because they're garbage human beings. Simple, now he's well fed and has warm house to cozy up in, he chose to be here and he's welcome, the door or a window stays open 24/7 he comes and goes as he pleases and is always lurking about somewhere living his best life outdoors. 😊❤🐅

Ive had cats & dogs my whole life. I have a stay tuxedo female, I took in 8 yrs ago. She likes going out & has territory she keeps. I go on long walks with her. She's well bonded, we're well adjusted routine to me. Shes the type which will likely disappear,when she knows it's time to die. I hate thinking about that part, but its a possibility. Shes well behaved & very affectionate. Im not going to ban her from going out. She's a tough, 16 pound, shredding machine. She dosen't run from other animals. She stands her ground. I'll protect her when its warranted.

My cat did that to his last owners :( its sad cause whoever they were clearly treated him with love he loves all humans but he wasnt chipped and the shelter had him for so long no one wanted him or came to get him. Hes been my best friend for 5 years now :)

My brothers cat had a double life. One day I went to a friends house when I saw my brothers cat. Don't remember he's name but I saw him just walk into my friends garage. I was shocked and didn't say anything. I just saw him walk in like he was at home.

❤😻😼🐈👍there much Loved is always the mane thing always here kitty kitty 😺 ❤

Please call before feeding a neighborhood cat that has a phone number on its collar... we adopted 2 street cats, a male and a female in different years. The female had a litter of 5 when we brought her in. She was subsequently spayed and roams the neighborhood at night but usually within a 60-yard radius and usually comes home on time. The male roams the entire neighborhood, maybe 1/2 mile radius. mostly during the day when the weather is not too hot. I track them with airtags. One day the male decided he wasn't going to go home. The airtag showed he was hanging around a neighbor's house about 500 yards away for 3 days, roaming as usual but always coming back to that house. So I went over to talk to the neighbor - they were feeding him and he was now living there and his roaming area shifted by 500 yards to their house. I politely asked the neighbor to stop feeding him and within half a day, he came home. If I didn't have the airtag on him, I would have thought a bobcat or coyote got him... ie, he would have likely just moved-in over there, and we would be left wondering what happened to the cat! I completely understand cat lovers who instinctively want to help a cat by feeding it, but if they have a collar with a phone number on it, please call before feeding! :)

I unfortunately live in Arizona, it is dangerous for cats to be outside. I sold my house of 28 years two years ago. There would be coyotes that would come on my street, when cats came to my house, I tried to catch them and take them to the rescue, but I was only able to get one. I have a cat myself, and she was only allowed outside with me on a leash. One night I heard a strange sizzle sound, I had just finished cooking, and was about to get up and see what was happening in the kitchen. My husband came in then from work and said there was a rattlesnake on the patio, and my cat was at the screen door. She was staring down that snake which was coiled in striking pose about 2ft from the screen door. She did not like when I made her get away. She was ready to protect her home. When the people came to remove it, they said it could easily have struck her through the screen, I was so happy it didn’t happen that way. They did tell me that it was smart to only let her out on the leash. I told them she used to like to go in the bush that was right by my door. They told me to never let her go in the bushes, even if she is on the leash and everything looks safe, because it is very dangerous. I don’t believe people should let their cats outside. I understand it is their nature to be outside, but it isn’t safe, there are evil humans that hurt cats too.

One thing not addressed here is predation. Depending on the area you live in there are many animals that will eat cats. I had a beautiful Tabby that slept with me since he was born on my lap. Use the spoon with me every night and would often remind me that it was time to go to bed. He would follow me everywhere. As he got a little older he did tend to wander a little bit and had been gone for a week before but it was unusual for him to go off more than a day or two. The one time he disappeared for over a week we had discovered that a neighbor thought he was a stray and had taken him in and he only came home when she let him out. I only found this out when he actually disappeared and it had been weeks. No one in the neighborhood saw him and it was generally believed that one of the coyotes or Eagles that we used to see regularly had taken him. I tend to think it might have been coyotes because he actually really liked dogs. The neighbor that took him in for that brief amount of time had many dogs. He was raised around them and we're almost act like a dog with strange dogs and be friendly. I believe he let his guard down around coyotes and was made a snack of. I postpone moving for 3 and 1/2 months Hosanna as I could and then continue to go back and look for him and ask friends to continuously look for him for over a year at which time we finally gave up. This led me to make my other cats indoor cats and I now swear by microchipping. I will never allow one of my cats to go outside without a leash on or in a yard that they can't get out of using such things as a catio. I feel really bad cuz we grew up on a farm always letting our cats come and go as they please but they've turned into fat lazy indoor cats and really don't like going outside because the times that they have accidentally gotten out they always come in crying wanting reassurance that everything was okay. I feel bad that I've made all my cats agoraphobic by keeping them indoors but I'm glad because I never want to go through that again.

My friend had a cat that we saw coming out of someone else's house around the corner from where he lived by another name.

Mine luckily stays very close to home and when he is outside he comes back every so hour to see if i'm home.

Thank you for this very informative clip. Good info ,please continue.....maybe something on why cats prefer some feral visitors vs. others, (my neutered female has an deep attraction to a local assumed feral black cat) Also, living in the mountains; friendly visitors I.E. deer, racoons, lots of friendly skunks ,etc. thank you and again good clip

Cats need and want LOVE and Attention , When they LOVE someone in the house and DO NOT get love back They feel sad and NOT wanted then they may leave.

It’s gotta be sinister level 10 for a cat to want to leave and never come back.

My daughters were brought up with cats and each daughter has 2 cats. However one of my daughter's cat left home. She came back one day with a note attached to her collar asking if she belonged to anyone. My daughter let her go to the new home as that is what the cat wanted. A bossy sister cat a new baby and a mother who had to work away from home were all to much for that little cat.

How my cat found her way back home. I called her name; LOUDLY, and she came a running home.

I know of 2 (different) cats who left home when the family got a dog.

My favorite cat of all time, Starbuck, grew larger overtime, and very contented. I lived in the woods, and Starbuck would occasionally disappear. One day it spent an afternoon with me, i noticed his flea collar very tight, and removed it. Next day, never saw it again, either a coyote got it, or found another home. I suspect found another place to live, observing its weight gain and general prosperity.

Because some people find a nice kitty thinking it's a stray and never let it back out the house once the cat gets into their house.

I have 5 cats and I don't let them out I get they go missing and I have experienced this one of them got out Bering in mind he's got out a few time but on one occasion he went missing for 12 days I was out of my mind with worry over him I am convinced someone had him the is far far to much danger out there cars dogs cruel people who go after cats with dogs ect so the best thing is to keep them in doors and make a cateo for them that way you no were they are at all times and the safe from harm orther wise letting them out and they go missing you will always be wandering what happened to it for the rest of your life if you love your cats keep them indoors safe and sound that way you will liv happy ever after keep them in big time

I lost my previous cat due to #7. He was dying of kidney failure and one day he just disappeared. On that morning I found him hiding under my desk and he didn't want to come out. I put him on my bed so that he'd be comfortable. At some point, he went out to my balcony and jumped down, about 6', and disappeared. I never saw him again. He was 17 and his name was "Tom". 😞

The kitty I had did that, but then found the, on the internet 3 days later. She was friendly and I think these kids just liked the kitty, cats seem like they like to go on vacation

I allow my cat out to back garden. She can come go out climbing over the fence but won’t stay outside too long. No many cars around. She is spayed. It has been four years and she always comes back home. There are crows and dogs outside, she thinks her house is safe and never allows other stays coming nearby
