What? The cat ran outside and you forgot about it? 😧
Full Story
My cat is fine, she wants to wander outside all the time, sometimes you don't even notice that she slipped outside when someone opens the door. There's some bushes in my front yard that she hides in for safety.
Last week, my cat spent the night wandering outside. Then at 3-5 AM next morning, my mother woke up to a loud cat meow and opened the front door to check. There it is, my cat dashing toward the door. She slipped outside the night before when the door was opened.
Note that the initial post is about intentionally letting the cat out.
I have had several cats over my lifetime and them escaping has never really been an issue for us, though of course I don't know your particular situation. Still, it is pretty important that cats are not allowed out. I know all the animal shelters across two countries I have worked with will simply not allow someone to adopt a cat unless they sign a document stating that the cat will be indoors only, with the exception of leashed walking.
