We can swear as much as we please on our pets, but when they disappear, we are genuinely bored and promise to feed the most delicious food as soon as they return. So what to do if a cat or cat disappeared, how to find a lost pet? And most importantly, why do cats leave the house, what to do, so that it does not happen again?
Where and how to find the missing cat or cat?
How to find a missing cat, kitten or cat? Obviously, to find the loss of her should be sought, do not sit on the couch, waiting for the cat itself to scrape the door. Whether the cat finds the way home is a big question, usually domestic spoiled cats do not have special instincts, and therefore may well not remember where to go back. But there are also compassionate people who, after seeing a cute cat, will want to take her. And the problem of stray dogs should not be forgotten. Therefore, if the cat (cat) disappeared, the owners must think what to do, how to find the missing pet. Here all means are good from a search of dark corners of a court yard with a piece of sausage in hands, before расклейки announcements on your area. First, try to search the entrance, corridors, courtyards, as well as a cellar. Frightened (and most likely it will be such - an unfamiliar situation, strange sounds and scents frighten previously unseen animals), the cat can go to the farthest corner, climb up to the top of the tree, hid behind the pipe, hide under the car, etc. Therefore, to search for a pet, you need to go out with an armed flashlight and a favorite snack kotofey. Since in a dark corner of a cat you may not notice, and he only does not come out to your voice - just does not recognize him from fear, an additional stimulation in the form of a treat should help the cat cope with fear and get out of the saving shadow.
If such a search did not give anything, you need to proceed to the next phase of the search - questioning residents - grandmothers or mothers walking with children, could notice the cat rushing about in the yard. If the inquiries did not lead to anything, then it is worth sticking ads at the entrances of your house and neighboring, near shops, at stops - in crowded places. It is desirable that the announcement was a picture of the pet, the nickname and the approximate time of the loss, but to describe too much the signs of the loss is not worth it (especially if you promise a reward). This will give you a chance to cheat you, such people offer first to give out the promised reward for the promise to tell your cat's whereabouts. Try to post ads on the boards intended for this, because from the doors of the entrance they will be torn down by diligent wipers. You can place similar ads on popular forums in your city. Where else to look for the missing cat? Announcements should be entered in veterinary clinics and shelters for homeless animals. If the pet is thoroughbred, then it is worth contacting the breeder. An animal welfare society located in your city can also help.
Why is the cat gone and what to do so that it will not be lost again?
To prevent the repeated loss of pets, you need to understand what is the cause of escape:
- Cats can leave the house under the influence of the instinct of reproduction. To exclude the second reason, the animal can be sterilized (castrate) or in advance to look for a pair, so that the instinct
was satisfied. - Fluffy pets can be afraid of loud sounds, they can show curiosity to the world outside the apartment doors, decide to hunt and jump out into the open window or door. To avoid this, mosquito nets should be on the windows, and when opening the door, you need to closely monitor your pet.
- In addition to constant surveillance of the doors and windows of the apartment, you can decide to implant a microchip cat. Then, upon receipt of your loss to the clinic (orphanage), the chip will give information about the owner, and you will be contacted and told about the find.
