How to Prevent Your Cat from Disappearing
-
Spay or Neuter: This is the most effective way to reduce the urge to roam.
-
Microchipping: Collars can fall off; a microchip is a permanent “ID card” that any vet or shelter can scan.
-
Enrichment: Use “catios” (enclosed patios) or window perches to give them a taste of the outdoors without the risk.
-
Pheromones: If your home is stressful, use calming diffusers to help them feel secure in their own space.
Pro Tip: if your cat goes missing, place their used litter box outside. The scent is incredibly strong and unique to them, acting as a “scent beacon” that can help them navigate back home from blocks away.
