What to do if the cat is lost, where will the cat go if it is lost, what to do if the cat runs away, where to find the cat if it is lost.

Answer: Whether the cat comes home after running away is related to many factors. If the cat usually does not have a good relationship with the owner, and the owner often beats and scolds it, then the probability of the cat running away and coming back is very small; If the cat runs away and is left at home by other people and does not let it go out, then the probability of the cat coming back is also very small; If the cat is just curious about the outside world and naughty, then the probability of it coming back is quite high.

Have you looked for this?

When a cat is lost, it usually hides in the bushes near the place where it was lost, such as a park, woods in a neighborhood or flower bed. Cats are also very likely to run away to a quiet and dark hallway for the night, while a few of the more intelligent cats will follow their memories and marks to go home, and even run back to their own homes to wait for their owners.

Cats generally hide in bushes when they are lost, and not being able to find their owners will make cats extremely anxious, restless, and nervous, at which time they may be desperate to find a place to hide, and bushes or woods near parks are the favorite places for lost cats to hide.

Cats may run to sleep in the corridor after getting lost, because the corridor is warm in winter and cool in summer, which will give cats a greater sense of security and belonging, and even make them mistakenly think that this is the corridor in their own home. Therefore, after the cat is lost, it is generally chosen to spend the night in the corridor.

When a cat is lost, it will try to remember the direction of its home, and even run to its own neighborhood. Smarter cats, on the other hand, will follow the marks left by themselves when they play (such as urine stains) to find the location of their home, and after a long time, they are likely to run directly home to the neighborhood and wait for their owners to find it.

If the cat is lost, you need to look for it immediately, bring a flashlight, call the cat gently, listen while calling, and ask neighbors for help.

The longer a cat is lost, the farther away it is from home, especially if it lives indoors for a long time and does not go out much. If the owner starts looking for it immediately, then the cat will not go far, and the more likely it is that the owner will find it. Hold your horses.

Anxiety is a normal reaction, but if anxiety is allowed to develop into panic, it will not help the owner. Immediate action will also help the owner to relieve anxiety.

Even during the day, it is good to bring a flashlight, with a flashlight, it is more convenient to search dark corners, and the reflection of the cat's eye can also make the owner notice the trace of the cat faster.

Where cats may be hiding.

1. Hidden corners of the home.

Don't rush out to find the cat when you find it not at home, cats like to sleep in a private place.

The owner can first look for these places, such as the wardrobe, behind the door, the bucket and the cardboard box, behind the household appliances, in the bed, and all the places where the cat can hide.

2. The same type of house on different floors of the house.

In the city, the probability of the cat going up when leaving is higher, and the owner can go to the upper floor of his own house to find it, especially in the same house type and direction as his own.

3. Outdoor bushes.

When cats are scared, they will hide in some hidden places, such as flower beds and grass downstairs.

How to find a cat. 1. Grasp the best time.

Generally, the best time to find a lost cat is the first day of loss, including a day and a night, when the cat's range of activity is smaller, and it is easier to find.

2. It is easier to find it with a flashlight at night.

Cats may act more boldly at night, and the owner can take advantage of the reflection of the flashlight light by the cat's eyes, making it easier to spot the cat.

After the cat runs out, it can be found next to the trash can or through the search monitoring.

If it is more than 24 hours, there is little hope of recovery.

Due to the sensitive personality of cats, especially cats that do not go out often, they will find a quiet and unoccupied place to hide after running away;
