Door Dashers: Helpful Tips For Worried Cat Paw-rents That Have Had A Flighty Feline Escape Through The Backdoor

If you've ever owned a cat, you've experienced the anxiety of your cat potentially or actually escaping at some point - either through an open window or a door mistakenly left open. Cats, unlike dogs, can leave for days, even weeks, before returning. This time is full of worried thoughts and helpless feelings because cats often don't respond when you call them. So what can you do to bring your flighty feline home? The answers are here!

This helpful Reddit thread has advice for cat owners who need to bring their lost kitties home. From leaving their litter boxes out to bringing their favorite squeaky toy on a midnight search, these answers give us hope that we can safely help our cats come back home. Nothing is a 100% guarantee when it comes to cats because they have a mind of their own, but it never hurts to try. Good luck!
