A lost cat may wander further and further away. When a cat first goes missing, it may not be able to find its way home and may hide in various places due to its timidity, making it more likely to run away. Especially in unfamiliar environments, cats will be more vigilant and may choose to hide in places away from people and noise.
However, in the initial stages after a cat goes missing, especially near the neighborhood, the chances of finding it are still relatively high. Therefore, cat owners should go out to search as soon as possible after discovering their cat is missing, especially in areas such as stairwells, green belts within the neighborhood, and roads extending outwards from the neighborhood, as this will greatly increase the chances of finding it.
