This issue is related to the growth environment of cats from childhood to adulthood. Cats living in rural areas are mostly in a free range state and remember their way home. But the cats in the city are lost and rarely found. Cats have memory ability, and stray cats in rural areas are familiar with their surroundings and can find their homes through memory and scent. Urban cats have little opportunity to familiarize themselves with the community environment, and when they run out, they have no time or energy to remember the way due to fear and nervousness. In addition, the high and low distinguishability of urban unit buildings and floors make it rare for them to be found on their own.
What should I do if my pet is lost? 1. If you are escaping from the entrance of a building, immediately search up the stairs from the ground floor and pay attention to the small corners where various miscellaneous items are piled up. 2. The probability of retrieval is highest in the community, with a focus on finding enclosed corners such as green belts, trees, and garbage bins. 3. Post cat/dog search tips near your home and consult with security, cleaning, or community surveillance. 4. Search nearby feeding points and trash cans for stray cats/dogs, leaving food and water behind. Food and utensils contaminated with the owners scent may attract cats/dogs. 5. Placing food at your doorstep may attract pets to find their way home. 6. The first three days are the golden time to find pets, but there are also many pets who return home after a month through various efforts, so owners must not give up easily! 7. Dogs must obtain a dog license and purchase a dog tag, so that others can learn about their dog information through the tag and increase the chances of retrieving it. If conditions permit, you can also purchase dog tags with the Beidou satellite positioning system to keep track of your dogs movements at any time, so you dont have to worry.
