Unfortunately, some cats are taken by people who assume they are homeless, or in rare cases, stolen. This can prevent the cat from returning to its original home.
How to Reduce the Risk
- Neuter or spay your cat
- Use a collar with an ID tag
- Microchip your cat
- Keep cats indoors or supervise outdoor time
- Create a calm and safe home environment
Conclusion
When a cat leaves and doesn’t return, it’s rarely due to a lack of affection. Most often, instinct, fear, or circumstances beyond the cat’s control are the cause. Understanding these reasons can help owners take steps to keep their cats safe and close to home.
