Preface

In cat breeding, you have to face some unexpected situations, such as your cat suddenly getting extremely excited today, opening the door, and before you could put on a condom, the cat ran out of the door and disappeared after a while. At this time, the owner is often anxious and at a loss. Will my cat come back

Whenever we take our cat for a walk, in order to prevent it from wandering around and disappearing without a trace, we also use chains to hold it. Some well-trained cats don't need to be so troublesome. As soon as their owner calls their name, they obediently come back. But if your cat is mischievous, using a chain is also a rather helpless method. However, sometimes you have to face some unexpected situations, such as when your cat suddenly gets extremely excited today, opens the door, and before it has time to put on a condom, the cat runs out of the door and disappears after a while. At this point, the owner is often anxious and at a loss. Will my cat come back?

Compared to cats, we know that dogs have a strong ability to recognize their way, which is innate. You often see dogs urinating under utility poles or trees and constantly scenting with their noses outside. This is a good way for them to find their way. So, do cats also have this ability?

Recently, a netizen in Hangzhou posted that their cat, which had been lost for two years, has returned. The netizen was surprised, wished for the best, and also expressed their admiration for the cat's ability to find its way abroad. There is a cat with even more amazing abilities. It is a pet cat in the UK. When its owner is not at home, it goes out alone and takes several regular buses back and forth.

The amazing ability of cats is related to their physiological sense of time, which is the biological clock in their bodies. If a cat leaves its home or living area, the biological clock in its body that matches its original location and the position of the sun will deviate, but the biological clock in the cat's body will temporarily maintain the position of the sun in its original habitat at this moment. If the cat moves in a direction that can correct this deviation, it can find its original home. It has been proven that if a cat is within a radius of about 12 kilometers from home, it can generally find its way home. However, if the distance exceeds this range, the cat is likely to get lost. Once the cat reaches the vicinity of home, it can smell the familiar scent through its sensitive sense of smell, thus finding the accurate location and floor of its home in the steel forest of the city. When a cat stays at home for a long time, it has an intangible impression of the smell, environment, owner's voice, and so on. When a cat goes missing, it will find its way home based on its own judgment.

For cats and other animals, the biological clock is an essential ability for their survival in nature. The ancestors of cats and other animals used the position of the sun to determine when to do something, when to go out hunting to catch prey, when to encounter predators, and so on. Nowadays, although pet cats no longer need to hunt, their lives are also regular. They can remember when their owners wake up and when they finish work, which is related to their biological clock.

Of course, not every cat has this skill, and we often see cats getting lost. Therefore, in terms of recognizing their way, we still need to guide them slowly, such as making them more familiar with their home and surroundings. Secondly, if a cat is unhappy living in an environment and runs away from home, it is likely that they will not come back. So the best way to prevent cats from running away and not coming back is to take good care of them, give them a comfortable environment with food, drink, play, and sleep, and they will naturally be reluctant to leave. Even if they get lost one day, they will come back. Moreover, cats should undergo sterilization surgery at an appropriate age to avoid running away from home due to estrus.
