Cats can find their way home. Cats have very developed senses of smell, vision, and hearing. They can find their way home through fecal markings, sound markings, and visual markings. After running out, it can easily find the direction of home as long as it is within 12 kilometers. If the distance is too far, it will be difficult for cats to find their way home. Generally, adult cats have better memories than kittens, and kittens can easily find their home when they run away. When raising a cat, it is best not to let it go out casually to avoid accidents. In addition, because there are many apartment buildings in the city with close door doors, it is difficult for some domestic cats to return home by themselves after running out, so try to keep an eye on your own cats.

Methods to prevent cats from getting lost:

1. Neutering. In addition to the influence of mating desire, unneutered male cats will have a strong sense of territory. When the smell of other cats appears outside, he will want to go out and have a fight to drive away the intruders.

2. Pay attention to the firmness of doors and windows. Especially for cats who are accustomed to going out, even if there are screens, it is still easy for some overly smart cats to open the screens, so it is best to make sure that the doors and windows are closed and locked.

3. Install a protective net on the balcony. If the balcony is open, it can easily become a loophole for cats to crawl out. In this case, a protective iron frame can be installed.

4. Use a cage when going out. Try to use a carrier when taking your cat out, and only release the cat when you reach a safe place. It is especially recommended to use a carrier with a door that can be closed. This is safer than a carrier bag because the cat can easily escape from the side.

5. Wear a brand-name chip implant. The advantage of wearing a name tag is that the person who finds the cat can contact the owner directly based on the contact information on the name tag. However, it is best to use a safety collar when using a name tag to avoid the collar being accidentally caught on an object, which may cause harm to the cat. The cat's life is in danger.
