      Please don't let them get out. It's a bad thing people think is okay and still do.
      The outside is often filled with dangerous things for your cats, such as accidents involving cars, people that threaten the cats, or poison, cats getting sick, which can become very serious, all depending on their activity outside, and the fact you don't have any way to know what they're doing, except the use of cameras.
      Please, just do not. It's not as healthy, since there is lack of space, but it's healthier than being outside.
      It may take some time for them to adapt inside (If used to getting out), but it's for the better.

He has both black beans and pink beans on his feet. He will actually wake me up and ask for food like ''raow raow?'' OK...I'll go get it. He comes when I call him, even if he was hiding somewhere asleep. He gets kitty treats every time.

    Without pets on this earth, life would be so much harder. There’s nothing like the feeling of non-judgemental unconditional love and affection from a pet. They don’t care what you look like, what is “wrong” with you, or how others perceive you. It’s pure acceptance, and mutual love. Just love and feed them, and you’ve entered into a contract with a priceless bond. What a fantastic deal.

    For those who don't know, if your cat ever goes missing, leave out food and water for it! Usually they are nearby. And not only does it have something ready for them in case they do come home and you aren't there, but it gives them the scent to follow. It's got your scent on it. This s why in addition to the food and water, you should leave out its litter box and something of yours, like a blanket or something. It acts as a homing device.

    I had been told, when you move, you should keep indoor/outdoor cats inside for a few weeks so they understand this is their new home. The last time I moved, I did just that. I had three cats, two males and a female (all neutered) and, after two weeks, the two males went out and came back and were fine. The female, who was always a bit nervous going outside, totally freaked and disappeared. Unfortunately, just before we moved, I sprained my ankle so I couldn't walk. But I went out and looked for her and called for her as much as I could.
    Well, fast forward three months, my ankle was healed and by then my dog and I were taking long walks every day. On July 3rd, we took our longest walk, which was 4 miles and we'd gone on roads we had never been on before. The very next morning (yes, July 4th), as we were heading out for our walk and had only gotten about 100 yards from the house, we heard a tiny little meow from the bushes. My dog and I looked and looked and who should pop out but my cat-- much thinner but clearly recognizing us. And me recognizing HER! It was one of my best moments in recent memory.
    And I really believe, the day before when we were on that long walk, we must have passed her and she must have seen us and followed us home. I think, when I put her out that very first time, she got scared and then got turned around and lost. After she was found, she never went outside again and I never even encouraged her to go out. Some cats are better being outside than others.
    Upon reflection, I also realized I should have stayed with her when I put her out that first time. :\ I wish I had. It would have spared her 3 months of being lost and alone.

      I agree. I moved and my Russian blue got away and was gone --in the mountains, coyote, bear, snow etc and was missing for 17 days. She was not an outdoor cat. She did not know her new home but was eventually spotted looking for food and so I went to the area (within a mile) and sat with tuna and she came to me. Had hung her blanket in the woods, my shirt and let her hear her sibling during the time she was gone, because the vet told me she would probably stay nearby and could smell me and her sibling. The only association she had. She is now turning 18 and in the beginning of kidney disease and am still thankful I got her back!

    Years ago, as a teenager,I had a similar story. We had a yellow cat that would roam freely in and out of our house. We moved to a new house about 1 km away but there was a busy road in the middle. I walked that cat for about a week around the new house trying to get her used to it, and it seemed to work,but after another week she went missing. I walked back to the old house, several times, calling out to her, looking under cars and asking if anyone had seen her. We lost hope and thought we'd never see her again. 2 or 3 weeks later, while we were having lunch, we heard a meow. Somehow she had found her way back to us, and never went awol again. She enjoyed a long happy cat life and died of old age in her favourite spot.

    My little Siamese dream girl got out one night and was gone for six weeks from our Las Vegas home. My friend told me: "She'll come home. Cats are amazing animals.". Well, six weeks total later, she came home one night through the window in the bedroom I'd left open just in case... just 5 days before I was moving. A shrunken bellied bag of dehydrated bones who could hardly meow, I barely recognized her.
    Yes, cats ARE amazing animals. How she survived that long, is nothing short of a miracle to me. Right now, she is sitting 5 inches from me as I write this, 4 years afterwards, healthy, beautiful, safe and content.
    The one positive if there can be from such a situation aside from her returning, she came back with an appetite she never had before. Always had trouble finding food she would eat, hating pates and only licking the juices from other types. Ever since, she devours every meal and licks the plate clean no matter what it is.
    Amazing animals. Never give up hope on your lost fuzzball. They are in most cases close to home, scared and trying to sort out their homing instincts.

Mom meows, kitten answers with her distress cry, mom keeps calling as she follows the cries and recovers her child.

    Last year in Feb, I went to my brother's house for a few hours. My indoor cat normally hides under the bed and refuses to come out. It was really windy so the dog door was flapping back and forth so she saw a way to escape. I didnt know that she had escaped until 2 hours after being there. It's was about 35-40° and rainy. For several hours I drove up and down every block, but my cat is so scared it never even comes out from behind the couch when I call her in the comfort of her own home. I knew it was going to be next to Impossible. The next day I found a video that said if an indoor cat ever gets out, it's not going to go very far, probably only 2 blocks. So I was encouraged and I made 200 flyers and 10 hot pink posters. I spent hours putting flyers on everyone's door and talking with a may people as possible. While I was out I noticed that there were 2 or possibly 3 extremely aggressive Alley Cats that kept fighting and fur was flying, so I was so worried that my cat couldn't stand a chance. The temperature was still freezing cold rain, so when my brother came home from work at 11:00p.m. He called me and said I have her. I said, What do you mean you have her? He says I have her. Again I says, What do you mean you have her? He says she's here under my bed. She was right next the door hiding in the bushes, freezing.

  • @marlenalinne6100

    I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but PLEASE keep your cat inside. And even if she's inside, have her micro-chipped. If your house should catch fire or a storm damages your home, the cat could escape.
    I'm assuming that since she's a female and running loose that she's been spayed. It's very important to have this done not just for the obvious reasons, but having a female cat spayed drastically reduces her chances of getting breast cancer. And they have four times as many chances of getting it than humans.
    As mentioned in other comments about all the dangers out there, no one mentioned her being caught by humans and used as bait for dog fighting or people who like to torture animals just for kicks. Many serial killers, Jeffrey Dahmer included, start on animals and they are mostly cats. Pre-teen boys are especially notorious for torturing cats and their favorite trick is to set them on fire.
    In addition, I noticed that the cat was wearing a flea collar. They are 95% useless against fleas but they are poisonous to the cat. So if you keep the cat inside, it won't get fleas or others parasites.
    You've received a lot of good information here from a whole lot of people and I hope you consider using some of it. If you still want to let her run loose, though, try looking at it strictly from a financial perspective and think of the money you'll have to spend if she is badly injured and you have a vet bill to pay.
    Your cat appears to be happy and in good health, but she needs to stay inside so she stays that way. Find a favorite window and make it easy for her to get to so she can check out what's going on outside and she'll be fine.
    Good luck with your cat. Maybe when you move to your new home that would be a good time to introduce her to her new way of INDOOR life. If she gets out in unfamiliar territory it could be very bad.

      While I absolutely agree that cats are 100 much safer and happier when they are raised as indoor or at least safe / supervised outside time. However it can be impossible to take a cat that has already know the outside world, with the freedom to come and go (more or less as they please) and make it indoor cat. I have tried. 🥺 To him, he was in jail and was not a mom, but a warden. He was sweet and loving but the way he would cry at the door would just break my heart. I tried harnesses and walks but to him the harness was just a chain ball. He would just lay there until I picked him up. I eventually gave up and gave him to a buddy of mine that lived out in no where's ville, where I wouldn't have to worry about him getting hit by cars. I still worry about him on the farm and see him from time to time. He will still be happy to see me and come yell at me for snuggles. But it's nothing compared to the bond between him and my friend now. He follows him around with no leash just howling all day like he's a husky and not a Siamese cat.
      So I agree all the way up to the "from now on" part. It sounded like in this specific case the cat was already outside exposed when it was adopted. She also said she was keeping it inside after the move, so she was indeed trying to keep her inside. But they can be very smart little problem solvers, and sometimes that means being a little escape artist.

      Why on earth would they be so cruel?! The cat obviously knows to find her way to home and even to be let inside.
      Would you like to be imprisoned for life without any crime? Your mother endured many fears, but she let you outside to explore the world. And you were in many dangers already.
      Love respects the cat's need for freedom. Selfishness is what locks the poor cat up for life.
      It's a different story, when the cat never was outside. Still they long for it often. Yet, it's not harming them. Keeping an outdoors cat inside IS harming them severely.

      You can recreate some of the wonders of the outside world with a catio. If not, you can provide a cat with plenty of mental stimulation indoors. You wouldn’t let a toddler outside on their own, would you? That is the comparison to make here because they are just as vulnerable - they cannot fend off a hawk or a coyote or an eagle attack; nor do they have the road sense a human being does.

      Cats have marvelous instincts. You cannot possibly compare a cat with a human toddler. It's pure folly. The toddler would die within days without help. Cats live outside their entire lives without any human help.
      Young kittens are the exception, but as soon as a cat is about three months old, it can hunt well enough to survive beautifully on its own.
      Perhaps not in a cemented inner city, where there might not be enough food. Though I have heard of cities invested with rodents, that desperately need the help of cats.
      But even I wouldn't let my cat out in the inner city, because of the danger of too much traffic and too little to hunt.

      @@gardenjoy5223 Ah with that logic, you should not have compared cats to human beings either. Human beings NEED to go out to survive and thrive, cats don't if you provide plenty of stimulation indoors and a catio is an excellent option. Then you say your cats have plenty of road sense and yet you won't allow them to venture out in the inner city. Very contradictory statements, all in one comment - or perhaps you recognise now that there are many places where a cat should not be allowed outdoors and that keeping a cat indoors is not, as you previously stated "cruel, selfish, causes severe harm". Animal welfare looks different for different cats in different parts of the world - you may not have eagles where you live but someone else might, in addition to coyotes. Your cats may be large but a small cat could easily be whisked away by a hawk. In my part of the world, cats are greatest risk from human beings, fancy breeds are stolen and sold off to live in tiny metal cages for the rest of their lives and used for breeding purposes. Then there are stray dogs that rip into cats any chance they get. Anyway, you do you, may your cats be safe, always. Bye now.

      @@nnnicoleee01 A simple Google search will prove you wrong. Cats who go outdoors have a reduced life span - they can expect to live about 2-5 years on average whereas an indoor cat can expect to live at least 12 years, often well above that (it's not unusual for them to live to 18 or 20.) Cats indoors can live good lives with plenty of exercise, you just have to play with them and provide stimulation (such as regularly switching out toys), provide places to climb, provide access to windows, etc. Having more than one cat allows them to play together when the owner is not available. You can also harness train them and take them on walks or build a catio. If you don't know how to properly keep a pet healthy, then either do some research or don't comment on what you don't know.

      ​@@AdeleiTeillana Funny, what makes you think I don't know? I have two cats who are both 7 years old. They were both inside cats for 2,5 years with acces to a fairly large garden with trees, bushes and many things made for them to climb on, also got plenty of play time from us and have acces to all the things you mention in the house (toys, high climbing places throughout the house specially build for them and window perches on different sides of the house). We did it all and yet they still BOTH yearned to go outside and explore. So we chose to put our cats happiness first.
      I definitely believe now that cats should be able to have a decision if they want to go outside or not and that it is cruel to keep them soleley indoors. It's not natural for them to be locked sinde and you can play with them or provide other things all you want but indoor cats sleep more, get less exercise and often get more bored. And yes outdoor cats live a shorter life but I prefer quality over quantity. Who are we as humans to decide for them and be selfish? Is your cat only there for you? For us it's more important that they are happy and have their freedom to choose. My cats can choose now and they both LOVE going outside whenever they please and I am sure many would too if they had the choice..

Just keep your cats indoors, especially since if you don't they can also catch toxoplasmosis and spread it to you, are way more likely to be injured, die, be kidnapped or killed and, again, they are very bad for the local wildlife (so are stray dogs). That's also just completely untrue about indoor cats, you just need to put the time in to properly engage your cats and get the necessary equipment for them to use for them to get their exercise in, and If you really want to let them out, walk them on a harness daily or just semi-frequently, I would actually encourage this to any cat owner who doesn't do this already. "Oh but they obviously want to be outside, it's natural!!!" is not a justification for the many drawbacks that come from letting them do so, and it's contrarily cruel to let them go outdoors whilst knowing everything that results from it.
