My neighbor has 2 cats she's kept inside for around 5 years. Three days ago, one of her cats bolted outside as she opened her front door. She has looked for it night and day ever since, but it appears to be gone for good.
This is a cat that had never been out of the house for a minute, much less 3 days. Her two cats got along great, as far as I know. This lady spoils her animals to death. She even bought electric pads for feral cats outside. In other words, I don't believe abuse could possibly be a reason for the apparent escape.
I just wondered if anyone here has had an experience similar to this, or any opinions on what the reason could be ? I've heard for years that sometimes animals go off to themselves to die when they feel it's coming, but I can't see how that could be validated.
Thanks for your help. Okey R
