Cats are naturally curious creatures and may suddenly disappear or run away from home for various reasons.
?Why do cats run away from home
Natural instinct
Cats have a strong curiosity to explore their surroundings.
Some breeds (such as Bengal or Siamese) are more adventurous.
Searching for a mate
Unneutered cats (especially males) may run away during mating season.
Females may seek a safe place to give birth if they are pregnant.
Fear or Stress
Loud noises (such as fireworks or fighting) may startle a cat and cause it to run away.
Sudden changes in the home (visiting strangers, a new pet) may cause stress.
Boredom or Lack of Stimulation
Cats that don't have enough toys or activities may seek entertainment outside.
Searching for Food
If a cat is hungry or doesn't like its food, it may seek other sources (such as garbage or stray food restaurants).

?What should you do if your cat runs away
- Immediately search nearby hiding places (under cars, bushes, neighbors).
- Place a litter box outside the door; its scent may attract it to return.
- Use food attractants (such as cans of wet food).

- Look for it at night, as frightened cats move in the dark.
- Cats' escapes can be prevented by understanding their needs and providing the appropriate environment.
- If your cat gets lost, don't despair—many cats return after days or even weeks.
- Always take recent photos of your cat, as this will help in finding it if it gets lost.
