Hello everyone,
I have again an extreme issue to deal with with my cat, the problem his detailed in my second post (09/14)
I have a cat that was always an outside cat. He has 2 years, and until the last month, everything was perfectly fine. But within the last month (about 40 days actually), he disappeared 7 times at more than 150 m from house, he was found once up to 500m with a lot of luck.
Each time I open a window he will rush towards it and try to escape.
I try to keep him inside but he will scratch the doors, the window, jump everywhere, mess everything and meow endlessly. He even ends up scratching us and biting us to bleed.
The first time he disappeared I only looked for him and I did not force him to stay inside. But since he was going always to new places in every directions from my house, farther and farther, after the fifth disapperance we tried to keep him inside. Then he rushed the exit again and again, and within the five last days he disappeared twice, 2 days and 2 days respectively, 500 m and 150 m away... I don't know what to do.
I don't know what made him want to go away, we provide him food (and not cheap food), fresh water, toys, playtime.
The last time he was inside he made me a bite more than 1 cm deep on my arm, I never saw that from him, he always was a super kind wonderful cat, that loved care and attention. We didn't change at all. We still love him as we did. He has a litter box inside that he already used, he usually use it when it rains. Then he knows how to use it. We even tried to go with him outside to prevent him from running away, but each time he hides and then runs like 3 times as fast as I do and go far. He sometimes come back, but 1 time out of 5 he disappears.
Now he is gone again and I fear he won't come back this time.
He was neutered, it could have been a traumatic event, but it was many months ago
