Well theres a window my cat likes to sit at which is right by the front door. My cats ben an indoor pet her entire life. When I was bringing food in she darts outside then just stops on the pavements sees me chasing after her and runs back inside. Maybe its fear that stopped her running out more? But I've always been worried about this happening and her not returning because I cant chase after her quick enough.

She's not used to the outdoors, and the sights and scents probably do overwhelm her. HOWEVER...since she does tend to dart out, I highly recommend having her microchipped. It isn't that expensive, and even my diva tolerated it with just one outraged squawl. Only takes a moment, then you get on your computer, enter your contact details, and should she get away from you and be picked up, you have a good chance of recovering her!

Meanwhile, do read that article, and begin training her NOT to dart out! An ounce of prevention in cases like this really is worth a pound of cure!
